Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Denmark 1864, Austria 1866, France 1870 and Bismarck's combination of diplomacy and militaryHow did the German Empire of 1871 come into being Why did Prussia wage three wars within a few years and why did they each end with a gain in political power This book offers a comprehensible and at the same time well-founded overview of the wars of German unification. It begins with the unresolved German question after the Congress of Vienna, sheds light on the rise of Prussia and the army reforms under Wilhelm I, Roon and Moltke, and shows how Otto von Bismarck combined military strength with diplomatic skill.The focus is on the war against Denmark in 1864, the German war against Austria in 1866 and the war against France in 1870 and 1871. This is not only about well-known battles such as Düppel, Königgrätz and Sedan. Mobilization, railways, general staff work, modern weapons, alliances, political crises and the decisions behind the military successes are also explained.The book also shows why Prussia's victory was by no means a matter of course. Austria and France were serious great powers, and there was also considerable resistance to Prussian domination within Germany. Hanover, Saxony, Bavaria and other German states pursued their own interests. German unification was therefore not a straightforward process or a process that was fixed from the outset.Particular attention is paid to Bismarck's role. Was the founding of the Reich really the result of a long-term planned program of three wars Or did Bismarck react flexibly to crises and take advantage of favorable political situations It is also examined why modern weapons alone cannot explain the Prussian victories and the importance of organization, industry, railways, diplomacy and mistakes of the opponents.This book is aimed at history buffs who are looking for an easy-to-understand introduction to German unification and its military background. It is deliberately not a special scientific study, but conveys the most important events, contexts and actors in a clear and comprehensible presentation.>Parts of the text have been revised with the support of artificial intelligence. It was used as a tool in structuring, research and linguistic elaboration. The contents have been carefully edited, historically classified and checked for factual consistency. In this way, the book combines modern working methods with the claim to offer a serious, understandable and high-quality presentation.…
