France was clearly not going to welcome an adjoining state with the potential to be more powerful than herself. The border areas between France and the German states had been contested for centuries, often to the advantage of the powerful, united French state, while many southern German states were French allies (suspicious of Prussian motives).

Why did Germans call for unification of the German state?

There were many different influences on it. E.g. Economic purposes - one of the early steps towards unification towards a Kleindeutschland (a German state governed by Prussia and excluding Austria) was the Zollverein, the customs union in.. i think the 1830's sometime. Social pressures also contributed hugely, which influenced Bismarck and the elites to move towards unification and a sense of nationalism was pretty strong. Germany was originally divided into hundreds of small states, which then were reduced to 37. That's all i can recall at the moment, but i hope that helps even slightly.
