France - franco-prussian war
The Austro-Prussian War joined together the north German states. After Prussia won the Franco-Prussian War, the peace treaty declared the unification of Germany.
Otto von Bismarck used a series of strategic wars to consolidate German states under Prussian leadership. He first provoked the Danish War (1864) to gain control of Schleswig and Holstein, then orchestrated the Austro-Prussian War (1866) to eliminate Austrian influence in German affairs. Finally, the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871) rallied the German states against a common enemy, fostering nationalist sentiment and ultimately leading to the proclamation of the German Empire in 1871, with the Prussian king as its emperor. Through these conflicts, Bismarck effectively united Germany under Prussian dominance.
Otto von Bismarck led nationalism in Germany through a series of strategic wars and political maneuvers that unified the German states under Prussian leadership. His use of "realpolitik" allowed him to manipulate political situations, such as the Austro-Prussian War and the Franco-Prussian War, to rally German-speaking peoples around a common national identity. Bismarck's adept diplomacy and the establishment of the German Empire in 1871 solidified his role as a key architect of German nationalism, promoting a sense of unity and pride among the diverse German states.

Otto von Bismarck conducted three wars to unify Germany in the 19th century: the Danish War (1864), the Austro-Prussian War (1866), and the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871). The defeats of Denmark and Austria helped to consolidate German states under Prussian leadership, while the Franco-Prussian War galvanized German nationalism and led to the proclamation of the German Empire in 1871. Bismarck's strategic diplomacy and military maneuvers were crucial in achieving this unification.

Bismarck's method for uniting Germany was characterized by a pragmatic approach known as "Realpolitik," which emphasized practical considerations over ideology. He strategically used diplomacy, war, and political maneuvering to isolate Austria and France, ultimately leading to the Austro-Prussian War (1866) and the Franco-Prussian War (1870-71). These conflicts fostered nationalist sentiment and consolidated the German states under Prussian leadership, culminating in the proclamation of the German Empire in 1871.
