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 provinces of Alsace and Lorraine were seized by Germany as part of the settlement of the Franco-Prussian War. They were reorganized as a single province within Germany, renamed Alsace-Lorraine (Elsaß-Lothringen in German). Germany continued to control Alsace-Lorraine until the end of World War I, and then again briefly during World War II.
