The History of Germany 🇩🇪

#germanyhistory #civilization #documentary Discover how Otto von Bismarck, Prussia's legendary "Iron Chancellor," manipulated alliances and orchestrated the unification of Germany in the 19th century. Declaring that the great questions of the time would be decided by "blood and iron", Bismarck used a masterful blend of coercive diplomacy and military might (Realpolitik) to achieve his goals. In this video, we explore how Bismarck provoked three calculated, limited wars against Denmark (1864), Austria (1866), and France (1870-1871). Learn how he isolated his enemies diplomatically, utilized the modernized Prussian army under the brilliant Field Marshal Helmuth von Moltke, and ultimately crowned King William I as the Emperor of the new German Empire in the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles in 1871.
