Germany was united by the conservative and militaristic monarchy of Prussia. The unification was led by Otto von Bismarck (prime minister). Bismarck at first turned against Austria, which wanted to have the leading role in the unification too. After Austria's defeat in 1866, the Habsburgs (Austria) were excluded from German affairs. First, Bismarck made the Northern Confederation of the northern German states. Then, after the victory over France, in 1871, the southern states also joined the federation. The King of Prussia was proclaimed Emperor (Kaiser) of the united Germany (1871).

Infighting. Austria was once a leading part of a powerfull nation The Austro Hungarian empire eventualy the Austrian Empire lost ground to rival states. as a result of Austria not supporting Russia during the Crimean War from1853 to1856, Russia would not support Austria against the French-supported Italian state of Piedmont 1859. As a result Austria was driven out of Lombardy (Lombardia), a state in northern Italy. Under the direction of Prince Otto von Bismarck, the minister-president of the north German state of Prussia, the Prussians began to challenge Austria for supremacy in the German Confederation. In 1866 Bismarck provoked Austria into the Seven Weeks' War. Austria lost and was expelled from the Confederation.
