Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel played a crucial role in the integration of India by persuading princely states to join the Indian Union after independence in 1947, leveraging diplomacy and, when necessary, coercion to ensure unity. Similarly, Otto Von Bismarck, as the Chancellor of Germany, was instrumental in the unification of Germany in the 19th century through a series of wars and strategic alliances, employing realpolitik to consolidate various German states into a single nation. Both leaders were pivotal in their respective contexts, using a mix of diplomacy and assertive tactics to achieve national unity.

The leader and architect of Germany's unification was Otto von Bismarck.
Unification of Germany failed prior to Bismarck because there was not an agreed upon direction for that unification. The powers of Germany before unification attempted the process with the Frankfurt Assembly; however, it was unsuccessful because it established Germany as a federal union with a monarch to run it, but there was not support for that decision. Bismarck came into power a year after the Frankfurt Assembly and stated that unification of Germany would be through the use of military force. His plan to unify Germany began by instituting taxes which would fund Prussian forces. The next phase of Bismarck's plan was to use the Prussian army to unify Germany through three specific wars that strategically increased Prussia's power and gained the confidence and support of the German people for unification.
