Firstly, the (second) German Empire was proclaimed in 1871 (following the Franco-Prussian war) and secondly, what are the options?
Otto von Bismarck (1815-1898) was Otto Eduard Leopold, Prince von Bismarck, Count von Bismarck-Schönhausen, Duke von Lauenburg. Bismarck was a Prussian statesman who in 1871 founded the German Empire and served as its first chancellor for 19 years. Through German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck's (1815-1898) efforts, Germany was transformed from a loose collection of small states into the German Empire, the strongest industrialized nation in continental Europe. A unified Germany permanently changed the European balance of power. Though Bismarck dominated German and European politics for nearly 30 years, his career was a series of paradoxes. An ultraconservative, he initiated social and welfare reform. A master politician, he despised parliaments and parties. A Prussian patriot, he created a German empire.
NO. The German Empire (led by the Prussians) were the unambiguous winners.

West Prussia was a province of the German Empire until 1918, when some parts were given to Poland, and 1945, when its totality was included in Poland.
The Franco-Prussian War in 1870-1871 led to the creation of the German state. It concluded with the defeat of France by Prussia and its allies, resulting in the unification of various German states into the German Empire, with Wilhelm I of Prussia being proclaimed as Kaiser.
