Overall summaryPrussian military strength was one of the main reasons for German unification. Bismarck in particular played an opportunistic role which advanced Prussia's position and removed the object of deciding who should be included in a united Germany. Prussian military strength also led to the decline of Austria, who opposed a united Germany as it meant that Austria should lose it's power. The Franco-Prussian war removed the main international object to unification, France, who opposed a united Germany as they feared another large European power emerging along their borders. |
