Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Industrial Development and Commercial Policies of the Three Scandinavian Countries
The war of 1848 - 50 produced significant results for the business of the country. The influence of Hamburg suffered practical suspension in consequence of the war, which led to the emancipation of Danish commerce, and enabled Copenhagen to regain its leadership of the provinces. The new Opportunities which presented themselves reawakened the old commercial spirit, and capable men, trained in England and in Hamburg, guided the development. The great military levies of the war years also led to a shortage of labourers, which was especially felt in agriculture, and stimulated the use of labour-saving machinery and appli ances. This in turn formed the basis of a domestic iron industry, machine shops, foundries, &c. After the war, the law of 1853 unified the customs of the monarchy, a step which was to have very important consequences, as the Duchies of schleswig-holstein had previously had their own tariff system.
