Establishment Of Disputed Territories and Shared Truths in The Region of Schleswig-Holstein

Abstract

The world has a history of division that spans vast periods and numerous cycles, resulting in ongoing disagreements among political entities and social groups. One of the most challenging issues to have unanimity on is whether the identity of an individual is genuine or mythical historically. In this way, despite being a contentious concept in historiography, the relationship between myths and truths plays the most important role in shaping history writing and historiography. Schleswig-Holstein, a region with a long history of conflict, experienced a millennium of disputes before achieving redemption. Different institutions, religions, regimes, and languages led the process to go into a state of pandemonium during the development of history. However, is this kind of analysis of territories and collective identities no longer required in this era of peace? Have those problems been conclusively solved? This paper argues that further analysis is still necessary and valuable by providing summaries and reviews of relevant literature and resources.
