National Unification in Italy and Germany
VIAULT National Unification in Italy and Germany TIME LINE 1849-1878 Reign of King Victor Emmanuel I1 of Piedmont, who becomes king of Italy in 1861 1852 Camillo Cavour becomes premier of Sardinia-Piedmont 1859 Piedmont and France defeat Austria; Piedmont annexes Lombardy 1860 Piedmont annexes Tuscany, Modena, Parma, and the Romagna Garibaldi and his Red Shirts land in Sicily 1861-1888 Reign of King William I of Prussia, who becomes German emperor in 1871 1861 The Kingdom of Italy is proclaimed 1862 Bismarck becomes minister-president of Prussia 1864 Prussia and Austria defeat Denmark 1866 Prussia defeats Austria in the Seven Weeks' War Italy annexes Venetia 1867 Prussia creates the North German Confederation 1870 France declares war on Prussia Italy annexes Rome 1871 Prussia and its German allies defeat France The German Empire is proclaimed Germany annexes Alsace and Lorraine In 1848-1849, the liberal national idealists had been defeated in their efforts to unite Italy and Germany. By the early 185Os, the Austrians had reimposed their control over Italian and German affairs, and the German Confederation had been reestablished. Nevertheless, the desire for national unification remained strong in both Italy and Germany. Leadership now passed into the hands of professional politicians. They possessed what the revolutionary idealists of 1848 had lacked: VIAULT power and the will to use power, practical political experience, and a clear vision of their goals. In Italy, Camillo Cavour, the premier of Piedmont, established a united Kingdom of Italy in 1861,while in Germany, Otto von Bismarck, the Prussian minister-president, created a united German Empire a decade later.

The Unification of Germany
New Dorp High School Social Studies Department AP Global Mr. Hubbs The Unification of Germany Nationalism means pride and love for one’s country. Nationalism can have both a positive and negative effect on nations. Feelings of nationalism helped the German and Italian states become independent nations. The 39 German states did not become a nation easily. One reason was that each state was ruled by individual princes. The princes did not want to lose their power, and because of that many princes did not want a united Germany. Religion also made it hard to unite the German states. The people in northern Germany were Protestants and the people in the south were Catholic. There have been many wars that have occurred between the Catholics and the Protestants, and for this reason many they did not want a united Germany. Otto von Bismarck led the unification of Germany. Bismarck was prime minister of the German state of Prussia. Bismarck ruled by a policy known as “blood and iron”, blood meant war and iron meant absolute monarchy. Bismarck said that wars with other countries would unite the German people. He thought that wars give people a reason to work together, and these wars would spark a feeling of nationalism in Germany. Bismarck then strengthened the Prussian army and started three different wars. Bismarck’s wars started in 1864 when Prussia teamed with Austria to fight Denmark. Prussia and Austria were two German speaking nations in Europe. Prussia and Austria won the war. Two states from Denmark became part of Austria and Prussia.

German Unification Notes
Historical Features of Germany • Enlightenment doesn’t cross the Rhine • German Industrialization – In two generations, Germany catches up and surpasses Great Britain in terms of industrial might. • What do these factors mean for Germany? Factors Promoting Unification • Common Nationality • Napoleon’s Influence – Abolishes Holy Roman Empire • Congress of Vienna – Creates the German Confederation • Zollverein – Economic unity amongst German states 1 Zollverein Factors Prohibiting Unification • German Cleavages in Society – Regional, Religious, Class • Opposition of Austria • Opposition of Lesser German States • Opposition of France 2 Kaiser Wilhelm I Helmut von Moltke Chancellor Otto von Bismarck The “Iron Realpolitik Chancellor” “Blood & Iron” 3 Otto von Bismarck . The less people know about how sausages and laws are made, the better they’ll sleep at night. Never believe in anything until it has been officially denied. The great questions of the day will not be settled by speeches and majority decisions—that was the mistake of 1848-1849—but by blood and iron. Steps toward Unification • Create Military Power • Eliminate Austria • Establish North German Federation • Franco-Prussian War • Establish German Empire 4 Step #1: Create Military Power • 1862 Prussian liberal majority will not grant funds to Bismarck for him to develop his military. • Bismarck violates Prussian Constitution and from 1862-1867 governs virtually as a dictator, establishing a strong Prussian military. Step #2a: The Danish War [1864] The Peace of Vienna Schlesswig-Holstein Step #2b: Austro-Prussian War [Seven Weeks’ War], 1866 Prussia Austria Bismarck provokes a war with Austria!!! 5 Peace with Austria • Prussia gets control of Schlesswig- Holstein. • Austria cedes Venetia to Italy.

In the Service of Kaiser and King: State Sovereignty, Nation-Building
In the Service of Kaiser and King: State Sovereignty, Nation-Building, and the German Army, 1866-1918 By Gavin Wiens A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto © Copyright by Gavin Wiens, 2019 In the Service of Kaiser and King: State Sovereignty, Nation-Building, and the German Army, 1866-1918 Gavin Wiens Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto 2019 Abstract From its creation during the Wars of Unification (1864-71) until its defeat at the end of the First World War, the German army remained a federal institution. To be sure, the imperial constitution recognized the Kaiser as commander-in-chief of Germany’s land forces. Under the Kaiser’s direction, the Prussian war ministry prepared the military budget and the Prussian General Staff drafted operational plans for future wars. A patchwork of military agreements nevertheless limited the authority of the Kaiser and Prussia’s military leaders over nearly one- quarter of the German army. According to these agreements, separate war ministries, cadet schools, and general staffs oversaw the arming, clothing, feeding, housing, and training of Bavarians, Saxons, and Württembergers, while the monarchs of Germany’s three smaller kingdoms determined personnel appointments, the deployment of units, and even the design of insignia and uniforms. The army’s contingent-based structure ensured that Prussians and non-Prussians served alongside, but only rarely with, one another after 1871. Based on research in archives and libraries in Germany, Austria, England, and the United States, this dissertation explores the means by which the smaller armies of Bavaria, ii Saxony, and Württemberg were integrated into Prussia’s much larger military structure after 1871 and seeks to understand why the German army, burdened by numerous loyalties and overlapping spheres of control, did not simply fall apart during the First World War.

OLLI Lecture October 13, 2009 “The Age of Bismarck” the Kingdom Of
OLLI Lecture October 13, 2009 “The Age of Bismarck” The Kingdom of Prussia, whose fortunes Bismarck inherited as Prime Minister in 1862, was an interesting place. Smack in the heart of northern Europe, it had no natural boundaries, no especially abundant resources, nor even any great ports that allowed it access to the greater world. In fact, Napoleon I, after destroying Prussia’s army in a single day at Jena (1806) considered eliminating it altogether from the map of Europe. Still, there were some remarkable attributes to the place. It was highly literate since universal male education had been in place since the 18th century, as well as universal male military service thereafter. It was the second largest state in the German Confederation and the leading force in the Zollverein, a customs union that since 1818 had stimulated trade between most of the Confederation states (but did not include Austria). The results of that common market had been quite impressive as Prussia led most of the German states in industrial output, such as coal production, iron production (which quadrupled between 1850 and 1875), and railroad construction. 8,000 miles of track were laid down in Prussia between 1850 and 1870. Thus, the subjects of the Prussian king were among the best educated and industrious populations in Europe. And they were very well‐armed. The industrial firm, Alfred Krupp, had by the 1860’s equipped Prussia’s army with breach‐loading cannon and a particularly lethal breach‐loaded rifle called the “needle gun.” In 1866, Werner Siemens in Berlin invented the dynamo, a creation that was pivotal to the second Industrial Revolution of the late 19th century that was driven by breakthroughs in electronics and chemicals.
