The unification of Germany between 1850 and 1870 was primarily driven by the efforts of Otto Von Bismarck, the Prussian chancellor, who utilized a combination of diplomacy and military strategy. Key events included the wars against Denmark (1864), Austria (1866), and France (1870-1871), which consolidated German states under Prussian leadership. The culmination of these efforts was the proclamation of the German Empire in January 1871 at the Palace of Versailles, marking the establishment of a unified German nation-state. Bismarck's approach emphasized realpolitik, fostering German nationalism while sidelining Austria and France.
