Unification of Germany

  • German Confederation

    German Confederation
    Confederation Congressf of Vienna created German Confederation, 39 states
    I think that this was both positive and negative. It led to the unification, but also more issues.
  • Constitution

    Constitution
    Revolution of 1848Liberal citizens of berlin rioted forcing a constituational convention writing the constitution. I think that this would be negative, because rioting may get you what you want temporarily and show how you feel in the moment, but I've noticed that government ways are fickle in newborn countries

  • German Industrialization lead to Unification

    German Industrialization lead to Unification
    Industrial Had Bismarck not pushed for Industrialization and used the technology around him he wouldn't been able to beat Austria
