from reddit: Dang, Schleswig-Holstein was nearly half of denmarks entire population? Also Ireland had a larger population than Egypt. French Dominance over Algeria was possible.
Map of European population counts by countries in 1848. From Danish perspective, this is just when Germany was about to attack us, check population difference. They failed but succeeded in second attempt in 1864. https://www.reddit.com/r/europe/comments/d2ru6f/map_showing_population_of_european_countries_also/ …pic.twitter.com/Dk37Ak64dO

Schleswig-Holstein today is 2.9 M, and DK is 5.9, so proportions have stayed about the same since then. Of course, about ~800k of Danish population is foreign now (only 5M Danes).
