England attacked Denmark in 1807 during the Napoleonic wars, bombarded Copenhagen and made off with the fleet. Denmark became the ally of France and England declared war on Denmark. Rearmament resulted in soaring wartime inflation, since the state financed its military expenses by excess issue of banknotes. The war ended in 1814.
