Kiel Treaty (1867)
The Kiel Treaty was a treaty signed on February 23, 1867 between Grand Duke Peter II of Oldenburg and Prussia , in which Prussia ceded part of Holstein .
background
As a result of the German-Danish War of 1864, Holstein fell to Austria and Schleswig to Prussia in 1865 . After the German War of 1866, Prussia annexed the Duchy of Holstein in 1867 , whereupon Peter II (as Gottorper ) asserted his inheritance claims to parts of Holstein against Prussia , which had already been made in 1864 . The aim of Oldenburg was to round off the principality of Lübeck , which had been made up of two parts since the Plön Treaty of 1843, and to unite it into one area.
