Major Concept -- Zollverein German customs union founded in 1834 to ↑ economy Prussia = leader included all German states but Austria b/c Austria did not want to ↓ tariffs

People: Frederick William IV King of Prussia (r. 1840 -1861) 1848: new liberal constitution accepts Prussian-led German unification 1849: tries to be elected emperor of unified Germany 1850: Austria & Russia successfully oppose Prussia’s unification plans Judged insane in 1858

4. Obstacles to German Unification A. Denmark B. Austria C. Conservatism vs. Liberalism in Prussia

1 st unification attempt: 1848 Revolution Driving forces: 1. Liberalism: make absolutist Prussia a liberal constitutional monarchy 2. Nationalism: unite Germany Events: 1. Constituent Assembly (Berlin) – liberal constitution for Prussia 2. National Assembly (Frankfurt) – constitution for unified Germany Outcome: FAILURE!!!! 1. Fred Will IV makes conservative constitution for Prussia 2. Austria opposes unification

Locations that Matter: Schleswig-Holstein: mostly German Holstein = member of German Confederation ruled by Denmark 1848 & 1864: WARS! Denmark vs. Germany over control of SH However, this led to issues between Prussia and Austria

1848 and 1864 Wars with Denmark vs. Prussia & Austria over control of S-H First Schleswig War (1848) = inconclusive How obstacle overcome: Second Schleswig War (1864) = Denmark defeated

Issue 2: Austria vs. Prussia over control of German affairs Austria opposes Prussia’s 1848 unification attempt Austria refuses Zollverein membership Austro-Prussian War (1866) How obstacle overcome: Prussian victory in Austro-Prussian War

Issue 3: Liberalism vs. Conservatism in Prussia Two House Parliament – “Bundesrat” and “Reichstag” Liberals: Prussian parliament Conservatives: William I & Bismarck Events: 1862: parliament rejects William’s budget 1862: William appoints Bismarck chief minister 1862 -1866: Bismarck rules w/o parliament (“blood & iron”) 1866: indemnity bill How obstacle overcome: liberals & Bismarck align in common pursuit of unification

2 nd Attempt at Unification: Austro-Prussian War (1866) Cause: Prussia wants to control northern German Confederation war to drive Austria out of German affairs Outcome: Prussian victory Austria withdraws ***creation of North German Confederation*** North German Confederation

Final Unification: Franco-Prussian War (18701871) Cause: The Ems Telegram drive south German states to unify with the north France = common enemy German Empire / “Second Reich” (1871 -1918) Outcome: Prussian victory ***German unification achieved*** German nationalism harsh peace for France (Alsace and Lorraine annexed)

What did the new, unified Germany look like? Liberalism on the Continent now had a strong nation at its head The Third Reich (1871 to 1918) 25 states parliamentary monarchy strong national government: emperor (Kaiser) chancellor 2 -house parliament Reichstag = lower house (universal male suffrage)
