Bismarck's Realpolitik was a power-based policy, aimed at making Prussia the dominant power in all of Germany. Prussia's only serious contender for that position was Austria.Until the war in 1866, Austria as a Catholic empire was the prevailing power in the southern German states that were mostly Catholic as well, Prussia - as a mainly Protestant State - had its strongest position in northern Germany.By provoking a war with Austria and then soundly defeating them, Bismarck got the message across to the southern German states that Prussia was now the dominant power in Germany.
