I have copied them (a bit shameless, admitted) from a painting of the moment in 1849 when the Danish army marched into Copenhagen . An armistice had been declared as a result of the battle of Fredericia on July 6, 1849. When the troops in the fall returned to Copenhagen they were received with tremendous enthusiasm.  The painting doesn’t overstate the moment. The newspapers describe vividly how the streets were decorated with flowers and many, many Danish flags and also that Norwegian and Swedish flags were hoisted as well. The war against the rebels from Schleswig and Holstein was going well. The Prussians had due to Russian intervention withdrawn and everybody was convinced that it was just a matter of time before the civil war was over and the rebels completely defeated. But it would take more than a year with more battles and many casualties before the final peace accord was signed. A peace accord that would not only leave everything pretty much unsettled, but would be the excuse for the catastrophic war in 1864, where the duchies were lost to Prussia and Austria-Hungary . The painting is of course a very nationalistic one, but a fine one for that matter.
