how far were the military victories resonsiple for bringing about german unification?

Answer 1

Just one military victory, the one in the Franco-Prussian War 1870-1871. After their victory over the French, the German states proclaimed their union under the Prussian King Wilhelm I, uniting Germany as a nation-state, the German Empire. The later wars were less succesful, and led to loss of territory and divisions.

Answer 2

Without these wars, there would not have been a german unification.The main goal for these wars was to abolish outside influence on germany.France, denmark and Austria held significant influence over some german states and could effectively prevent them from joining a german state.Germans tend to see the prussian-austrian war as the most important, bc. the major question was who would be leader of the unifiction and the future german state?Austria would never have given up the claim to become the new leading state of germany, so war was necessary to kick it out.The war against France was necassary to get the Rhine region which was, since Napoleon, practically under french control.The victory over Denmark secured the Holstein area.
I don't see how any other solution could have been found, as suggested by NC.Any other solution would have created a german empire with local noblemen who were more loyal to France, Austria etc. then to germany.

Answer 3

They weren't. German unification was a project that lasted at least two generations, from the post-Napoleonic debates about the future of German states to the eventual proclamation of the German Empire in 1871. German intellectuals have long agreed on the need for unification (Wilhelm von Humboldt founded the University of Berlin in 1810 to be a cultural center of the to-be-unified Germany), but the provincial aristocrats stood in the way until Bismarck duped them into submission by appealing to their bias against France...

If there wasn't a Franco-Prussian War, another unification avenue would have been found. The movement started by Humboldt gained too much traction...

Answer 4

Napoleon had quite a few from Austerlitz and Moscow to the domination of central Europe,then there`s the 1st and 2nd world wars with the Free French from north Africa to those fighting under DeGaul

Answer 6

Prussian military expertise probably was a huge intimidating factor for those "sitting on the fence."

Answer 7

I don't think the victories were responsible for that, I think the loss of WW 1 and the bad economy in Germany made it unified.
Offcourse, when Hitler began winning some battles, it only made Germany more solid.. :)
