Essay 7 Notes 1947- Allies abolish the state of Prussia
The unification and development of Germany Politically
German nationalism before 1871 had limited popular appeal
KTP- 1848-9 revolutions
Frankfurt Parliament also showed weakness of appeal
Begins to look like Prussia (Bismarck) unified Germany not nationalists
Bismarck had no time for Liberal nationalism
Austro-Prussian War- North German Confederation – Franco-Prussian
War
Constitution made by Bismarck allowed Prussia to dominate politics until
1919
Year of the three Kaisers- 1888- Middle Kaiser would have had a different
political regime
However- we cannot dismiss nationalism’s role in unification- Bismarck
might have used/manipulated/needed nationalism in order to carry out
his ideals- used nationalism to get southern states to join North German
confederation/ Luxemburg crisis/ Indemnity Bill
When nationalism reaches its third stage- relationship with Prussian state
becomes stronger- shared common goals
Nationalist pressure groups begin to have influence over the Kaiser
In 1879- Bismarck ends his relationship with the national Liberal party
German Economy
Dominated/driven by Prussia
1815- Prussia gains the Rhineland
Prussia abolish tariffs within Prussia- 1818- first step towards free trade
Prussia then built up treaties with neighbouring states- growing free
trade
Zollverien
Prussia invest in railways- economic and military growth
1879- Tariff act driven by Bismarck
Kaiser’s idea to grow the navy- Pan German League
Franco-Prussian war boosts the German economy
However- nationalism does have a say in economy- after defeat of Austria
Bismarck worked closely with the national liberal party to complete the
economic unity of Germany
Krupp steel- their input on politics and decision to go to war
