In this final installment of my lecture on German Unification, I focus on Otto von Bismarck's completion of the unification process through "Blood and Iron" (Blut und Eisen). Bismarck used three wars (Deutsche Einigungskriege) to bring about German Unification: the Schleswig Wars, the Austro-Prussian War, and the Franco-Prussian War. The North German Confederation's victory in the Franco-Prussian War led to the proclamation of the German Empire in the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles.
The Franco-Prussian War completed the process of German Unification but also sowed the seeds of animosity between France and Germany that would sprout to fruition in World War I.
