It was an 1870 Telegram also called the Ems Dispatch which related a conversation between the Prussian King and Count Vincent Bendetti at Bad Ems in Hesse-Nassau which was modified by Bismarck to purposely use as a pretext for the Franco-Prussian War.

What did Bismarck want to happen by sending the Ems Telegram to newspapers?

On July 13, 1870 at a resort in Bad Ems, Prussia, the king of Prussia met with a diplomat representing the Emperor of France, Napoleon III. Napoleon had threatened to go to war with Prussia if the king did not accept a few demands- the king politely refused when told by the diplomat. The king then allowed Bismarck to release a statement regarding what discussed in the meeting. Bismarck hoped to start a war with France. He (correctly) guessed that France would be easier to defeat than she seemed; but he needed France to actually declare war first. If France declared war first, then other German countries like Bavaria and Baden would be more likely to help Prussia. Also, powerful countries like Britain would be less likely to help France. Bismarck's hope was that victory against France would allow Prussia to take full control of Germany and officially unify as a new German Empire, and the king of Prussia would be its first Kaiser (Emperor). So Bismarck intentionally reworded the statement about the king's meeting. He didn't mention that the king was polite and conciliatory, and made it sound like the king had insulted the diplomat- which would've been the same as insulting Napoleon himself. Bismarck was correct in his assumptions. Napoleon was furious, and France declared war a few days later. Prussia defeated France in the short war, and even captured Napoleon himself at the climactic battle of Sedan. The German Empire was officially born on January 18, 1871; Napoleon was overthrown, and died a couple years later in exile in England.

Which event did otto von bismark use to gain support from the Germans in the south?

The Ems Telegram. Von Bismarck edited a telegram from the Prussian king to France in order to make the telegram sound offending to France. France then used this as a pretext for the Franco-Prussian War, which united Germany (the southern states had signed a military alliance with Prussia and fought with them against France). Before this, Germany was not one country, but many sovreign states/kingdoms; basically, this was the unification of Germany.


Bismarck's editing of the Ems dispatch resulted in?

Bismarck's editing of the Ems dispatch in 1870 was a strategic move that inflamed tensions between France and Prussia, ultimately leading to the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War. By altering the telegram to make it seem as though both sides had insulted each other, he was able to rally German states around Prussia and garner public support for the war. This manipulation of communication not only solidified German unification under Prussian leadership but also marked a significant shift in European power dynamics. The conflict concluded with a decisive Prussian victory and the establishment of the German Empire in 1871.
