What were advantages that enabled Prussia to form a strong unified state?

Answer 1

Prussia had a mainly German population so nationalism actually unified Prussia. Prussia's army was the most powerful in central Europe

Answer 2

Bismarck wanted unification to achieve his aim of a conservative, Prussian-dominated German state, attained through three wars. Certainly, that's one advantage that Prussia had over the other German principalities. But, there are others.

One of its most profound advantages was Prussia's sheer size. Prussia loomed much larger over the many principalities clustered in western Germany. The other major principality, Bavaria, could have posed a challenge to Prussia based on its size and ability to muster resources, but chose not to. That suggests another reason why Prussia took the lead in unifying the German principalities into the second German Reich under Kaiser Wilhelm I. In 1866, Prussia had defeated Austria (the Austrian-Prussian-Italian War) over the specific issue of Schleswig Holstein and the general question as to which state would dominate a unified Germany. With the defeat of Austria, Bavaria lost its natural (Catholic) ally in staving off the unification of Germany under Prussian (Lutheran) suzerainty.

A third reason might be seen in the diversity of Prussia itself. Though Prussia is most often identified as occupying the vast expanse of eastern Germany with its many Gueter (landed estates) and the Juenker class, Prussia did have industrial holdings in the Ruhr Valley. As a result, unlike Bavaria, which was mostly agrarian, Prussia could combine its vast estates and military traditions with the emerging steel and coal industry of the Ruhr.

Last, but not least, one cannot overlook personality as a driving force. Prussia had Otto Von Bismarck, the Iron Chancellor, who by sheer force of will was able to accomplish many things including German Unification.

I might add that it is often stated in Germany that it was the personality of Helmut Kohl who brought about German unification (between the Federal Republic of Germany (West) and the German Democratic Republic (East) in the 1990s. Certainly, it was not obvious that the Soviet Union would agree to such unification, and no one in the NATO alliance was really advocating unification. Helmut Kohl, though, was determined to unify the BRD and the DDR.
