Obstacles to Unification- Austrian Strength

Advantages

  • Austria was in charge of the confederation so could veto any diplomatic steps towards a united Germany
  • she had support of many southern states
  • introduced the Carlsbad Deecres which limited nationalism spreading

Disadvantages

  • lots of states opposed unification
  • Even Wilhelm I had doubts

Evaluation

important because Austria had lots of power over Prussia but when unification was achieved in 1871 Austria's strength had weakened
