One can not solely claim that Otto Von Bismarck brought about German unification. It was a number of factors which worked in his favor. For example, the Zollverein was an effective economic force in unifying some of the disgruntled southern states with Prussia. But in relation to Bismarck 'single-handedly' achieving German Unification, one could state that he did so pragmatically, in such events as the annexation of Luxembourg, which caused an upsurge in nationalism and anti-french feeling throughout Germany, this allowed him to have a huge military budget passed and gave him the ample opportunity to defeat Napoleon II. One could not just argue that Bismarck single-handedly achieved German unification, it was brought about through 'blood and iron' and not 'coal and iron' as Keynes later argues. Pragmatic actions coupled with the superiority of the free trading Zollverein under the helm of Von Roon. It should also be noted that Bismarck never planned full German Unification, a key primary source that concludes this can be found in a letter to his wife, which reads 'There is nothing left to achieve in our lifetime'. But evidently the military pacts Prussia had made with southern states on the eve of warfare meant that if warfare broke out, Prussia would have political dominance over those states. Nationalism within Germany at the time can not be credited as a significant factor in German unification. Numbers within nationalist groups were always relatively low, and it is important not to confuse nationalism with patriotism. Thus concluding this short response. It was pragmatic Bismarck actions that brought about German unification, but Germany was certainly not unified by Bismarck 'single-handedly'.
Well, He created the modern German state in 1871. Before him there was no unified German State only princely states.
Bismarck was the first leader of all of Germany 1871-90. He united the German city states to form the country of Germany. He did this by going to war with spain. Bismarck was a citizen of Bavaria 1815-98.
Otto von Bismarck (1815-1898) was Otto Eduard Leopold, Prince von Bismarck, Count von Bismarck-Schönhausen, Duke von Lauenburg. Bismarck was a Prussian statesman who in 1871 founded the German Empire and served as its first chancellor for 19 years. Through German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck's (1815-1898) efforts, Germany was transformed from a loose collection of small states into the German Empire, the strongest industrialized nation in continental Europe. A unified Germany permanently changed the European balance of power. Though Bismarck dominated German and European politics for nearly 30 years, his career was a series of paradoxes. An ultraconservative, he initiated social and welfare reform. A master politician, he despised parliaments and parties. A Prussian patriot, he created a German empire.

Otto Bismarck (later von Bismarck), the first-ever German chancellor, he became chancellor of a unified Germany in 1871. He was already chancellor of the most powerful state in the German Confederation (1815-1866).
Circa 1870, Otto von Bismarck was the principal architect of the unification of Germany under Prussian leadership.
It's unclear whether the question is about German unification in the nineteenth century (1864-71) or reunification in 1990. After about 1815 there was a growing movement in favour of German unification. Many in the German-speaking felt that being divided into 39 more or less sovereign states (countries) put them at a disadvantage by comparison with nation-states like France or Britain. Until about 1860 the German states had resisted unification. However, in the early 1860s Bismarck (and others) decided to use German nationalism as a means to creating a kind of 'Greater Prussia' (without Austria). Anurag

Bismarck was a diplomat, not a military officier. He only preached war as a way to convince the other German states of Prussia might so that they would agree to unification. After the states unified, Bismarck had no need for war, which could threaten the strength and economy of the new country.
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).
Prussia was crucial to the unification of Germany. Under the rule of Otto von Bismarck, Prussia engaged in and won the wars that brought together the nation states that make up Germany.
Otto von Bismarck, known as the "Iron Chancellor," was a Prussian politician who played a key role in the unification of Germany. Through a series of wars and skillful diplomacy, he succeeded in uniting various German states under Prussian leadership, culminating in the establishment of the German Empire in 1871.
