The Skaggerak Strait lies between Denmark and Norway.
The tensions between France ans Prussia and that led to a war that lasted from 1870 to 1871 so for a year.
If Prussia had not belonged to the German Confederation between 1848 and 1871, Germany might have experienced a weaker sense of national unity and less centralized political power. Prussia’s leadership role in advocating for German unification would have been diminished, potentially allowing rival states like Austria to exert greater influence. Consequently, the push for a unified German state could have been delayed or fragmented, resulting in a more disunited and possibly fragmented political landscape in the region. Additionally, the lack of Prussian involvement could have led to different outcomes in key events, like the revolutions of 1848, altering the trajectory of German nationalism.

Primarily in Denmark, but there is also approx. 50.000 living south of the Danish-German border. They became Prussian, and later German, citizens as a consequence of the 1864 war with Prussia and Austria (and subsequent war between Prussia and Austria), but remain culturally Danish. Aprox. 10% of the Greenland population are ethnic Danes.

The Prussian chancellor Bismarck put forward a German candidate for the vacant Spanish throne and it provoked Napoleon III to declare war (1870-71). The disagreement between France and Prussia was a conflict that began when Bismarck tried to unify Prussia but the confederation of states specially the province of Alsace-Lorraine (which has a mixed French-German population) was claimed both by Prussia and France. This dispute, was won by the German Empire (formally called Prussia) in 1871, then became a primary motivating force behind both of the world wars. Ownership of the disputed province changed hands three times, between 1914-45. However, since France and Germany joined the European Community (now called the European Union) more than half a century ago, ethnic tensions in Alsace-Lorraine have not been allowed to spill over into a war.

Newfoundland and labrador ==================== Prince Edward Island (PEI) connects with New Brunswick via the Confederation Bridge. The mainland end of the Confederation Bridge is near the Nova Scotia border. The Woods Island ferry service runs between PEI and Nova Scotia as well. There is no direct connection between PEI and the province of Newfoundland and Labrador. It would appear to be more likely that PEI would be trading with New Brunswick and Nova Scotia ahead of the province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
Québec did not "join" Confederation. Prior to Confederation, there were several British colonies in British North America, among which were the Province of Nova Scotia, the Province of New Brunswick and the pre-Confederation Province of Canada.1The former Province of Lower Canada, which later became Québec, was part of the pre-Confederation Province of Canada, which also included the former Province of Upper Canada.2The three provinces, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Canada, formed a new "dominion" called Canada on July 1, 1867, through section 3 of what was then known as the British North America Act (now the Constitution Act). Section 5 of the BNA Act then divided Canada into four provinces: Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Ontario and Québec.Section 6 of the BNA Act then deemed that the pre-Confederation Province of Canada was severed into two separate provinces. The former Province of Upper Canada constituted the Province of Ontario and the former Province of Lower Canada constituted the Province of Québec.-----------------------Notes:1. The other British colonies were Newfoundland, Prince Edward Island, British Columbia, and the Hudson's Bay Company proprietary colony known as Rupert's Land. The territory north of Rupert's Land, including the Arctic islands, was also British.2. The Province of Upper Canada and the Province of Lower Canada had ceased to exist as separate entities when the Act of Union, which united them as the Province of Canada, was proclaimed on on February 10, 1841. Between February 10, 1841, and July 1, 1867, the former Upper Canada was referred to as "Canada West" and the former Lower Canada was referred to as "Canada East."
