The word need is misleading in this context. There was a strong movement (campaign) in favour of unification in some form or other (often not clearly specified). It was inspired in part by the obvious success of nation-states such as Britain and France. Another source of inspiration was a desire for democracy and a curb on the power of the German princes, most of whom governned without democratic institutions and without any published budget. Until 1866 German unification was delayed by Austro-Prussian dualism . In 1867 Prussia, having expelled Austria from Germany, established the North German Confederation. The precise form of a unified nation-state was nevertheless unclear till some time after unifcation in 1871. Bismarck had expected the individual German states to wield much more power than they did. Once the Reich had been established the pressures towards uniformity turned out to be much greater than expected. Joncey

Need of unification in Germany 19th century?
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
