Bismarck's Realpolitik was a power-based policy, aimed at making Prussia the dominant power in all of Germany. Prussia's only serious contender for that position was Austria.
Until the war in 1866, Austria as a Catholic empire was the prevailing power in the southern German states that were mostly Catholic as well, Prussia - as a mainly Protestant State - had its strongest position in northern Germany.
By provoking a war with Austria and then soundly defeating them, Bismarck got the message across to the southern German states that Prussia was now the dominant power in Germany.
Bismarck's use of realpolitik included his willingness to engage in wars, like the Austro-Prussian War and the Franco-Prussian War, to achieve his goal of German unification. He also manipulated alliances with other countries, like forming the Triple Alliance with Austria-Hungary and Italy, to maintain German dominance in Europe. Additionally, Bismarck implemented social reforms, such as the Health Insurance Bill, to weaken political opponents and secure support for his policies.

The Balkan crisis provided the spark which started the First World War. Austria-Hungary felt it had to respond to such a provocation, but the system of alliances in Europe - Germany/Austria/Italy on one side and Britain/France/Russia on the other - meant that the assassination in Sarajevo soon escalated. At the end of the war, Austria-Hungary had ceased to be an Empire under Habsburg rule, Germany was no longer a monarchy but a weak and unloved democracy, Russia was the first communist state and Britain and France we so scarred from the experience of war that they sought collective system via the League of Nations to avoid any war in future.
