One target: The Creation of a Great United Germany!
One main problem: The growing power and influence of the bourgeoisie in The Pre-German territories, specially protected by the French Government!
Von Bismarck was a Junker: A Nobility land owner. His only allies were the aristocracy and for sure King William from Prussia!
He was able to make King William of Prussia the Emperor of Germany, he created a strong Germany that made direct economic concurrence with England! He destroyed any possible opportunity of Denmark to have any influence in the Northern German territories, making a fast war using the Austrian empire military force.
Using his capacities to offer to the Kingdom of Italy the Region of Veneto under the government of the Austrians, who wanted to given the Region to Napoleon III in exchange of his military help against Italy!
Bismarck, with the help of the Italian army, defeated the Austrians in Sadowa. The Austrians released the Veneto to Italy. The Russian Empire understanding the new power of this future, New Germany, wanted to create an alliance with France! Bismarck menaced them to conquest the Russian positions in Polish territory. He succeeded with his strategy but a war with France, and a victory, will be the only chance to make legitimate the New Germany!
He made a war that won in ten months! William become Emperor and Otto Von Bismarck, the father of the Empire.
He created in the New Germany what would be:
The first national health insurance system of the entire world; Taking care of the sick and old people, giving them, complete assistance! And creating the first social security system in history for the working people!
He resigned all of his political positions at the age of 75 years old after making an inner war against the catholic party and the influence of the church in the New Germany.
In his opinion, the faith for the state was over any other personal belief! In my personal opinion: “Bismarck was a person that started politics late, but not to live on. What he achieved for Germany in so little time, being old, just demonstrates that the mystery of life resides in the different ways and can get manifested in history”.
