Descrizione:
Bismarck proposed a national parliament in the federal Diet elected by equal manhood suffrage. Vienna announced that it would submit the question of the duchies to the federal Diet. Furthermore, Austria had accepted refugees from Schleswig into Holstein. Berlin, condemning this step as a violation of the Convention of Gastein, ordered its troops in Schleswig to expel the Austrians from Holstein. Francis Joseph in reply called on the other states of the confederation to mobilize their armies against the Prussian threat to domestic tranquillity, and Germany trembled on the verge of civil war.
