﻿﻿ ﻿German Unification   

The way Germany is today and how it was over 200 years ago were very different in power, government, and land. It was a small, unorganized German-speaking state. Prussia went by the same language, customs, and religion of Germans, however they were not yet a part of Germany. It was a part of both Austria, France and Denmark. Prussia decided to unite into an army to become powerful enough to break away from their ruling state and become their own, and later unite with Germany. This was all established by the unification process guided by Otto Von Bismark. Bismark helped lead Germany into several wars and battles to independence back from Austria, France, and Denmark. When accomplished, Prussia joined with Germany changing German government, power, and landscape all through the process of German Unification.
