King William was determined to procure for Prussia that place among German states which was its due. Though the king and his minister for war had worked out D scheme of army-reform, Parliament relused to grant the necessary money. There could be no doubt that Bismarck had insight and an iron determination. Prussia not Austria was destined to lead Germany. Bismarck, who soon became president of the ministry, Proposed that Prussia and Austria conjointly should drive the Danes out of Schleswig-Holstein. Bismarck's proposal was accepted and the Danish War of 1864 broke out. . On April 18, 1864 the United Prussian and Austrian. troops tock the redoubts of Düppel Uy storm, and thereby the defeat of the Danes was complete. The joint pPossession of the conquered provinces soon led to differences between Austria and Prussia. Since Austria would on no account agree to the territorial aggrandisement which Prussia demanded, she began to prepare for war. Prussia, under the leadership of King William and his Prime-minister Bismarck, was not inclined to cry small again as she had done at Olmütz. „Bismarck's endeavours to induce the neighbouring States Hanover, Saxony and Kurhessen to remain neutral failed. Moltke had worked out the plan of campaign, and in a few days the whole Prussian force marched in three armies against Bohemia. King William on July 2 assumed the command-in-chief at Gitschin. It was no light business to make all the necessary arrange- ments.
