Quiz on Thursday, on Nationalism and Nation States

Thank Soomin and Christina for the infomration on Germany

1862 - Otto von Bismarck became chancellor of Prussia.

One of Bismarck’s first acts was to start a program of modernization for army. He collected taxes to pay for the program even though parliament refused to allow the taxes. His main goal was to gain power for his king.

1864 - Danish War

Bismarck formed alliance between Prussia and Austria. They fought over Schleswig and Holstein. Prussia and Austria won the victory. That helped to earn new respect from other Germans. It also gave support for Prussia as head of a unified Germany.


1866 - Seven Week’s War

Austria declared war on Prussia. The Prussians used their excellent training and supplies to win a victory. After Prussia won, they gained control of northern Germany.

1867 - Prussia formed the North German Federation.

Bismarck wrote the constitution so that the Prussian king could lead the confederation which resulted in no threat of democracy.


1870 - Franco-Prussian War
                                                                                                
France declared war on Prussia. Bismarck felt that a war with France would rally the south. This war was the final stage in German unification. After Prussia had won, the nationalistic fever seized people in southern Germany. They finally accepted Prussian leadership.


1871 - King Wilhelm I of Prussia was crowned kaiser.

King Wilhelm I was dignified at the captured French palace of Versailles. Germans called their empire the Second Reich.
