How was Germany Formed?

Published 2024-07-20
During medieval times, the lands of Germany were scattered in hundreds of pieces.
This so-called empire changed its shape multiple times and took part in external and internal military conflicts. One of the entities, Prussia, grew in the next centuries, through diplomacy, political unions and wars. By the end of the 18th century becoming, one of the most powerful German kingdoms.
During the Napoleonic Wars what was left of the Holy Roman Empire, was dismantled, and after the Peace of Vienna, Prussia expanded and became part of a new confederation of German states.
The next years represented revolutions across Europe. The idea of removing the old political structures and creation of new nation-states was envisioned. All across the German confederation many started to think about a single German Nation… but not many wanted to give up power so fast.
The German Unification will happen through a series of wars, carefully planned and executed by Prussia… Stick with us until the end…

Should have talked about the Napoleonic Wars and the German mediatisation instead. Napoleon's France took German lands up to the Rhein, and the Imperial crown had to compensate remaining nobles by effectively consolidating the innumerable tiny independent states into the larger blocs we see at the start of the Victorian age. That's when all the bishoprics, small counties and free states that you see in medieval maps disappeared, and is far less talked about than Bismarck's unification.
