Unification Overload


Europe saw the formation of two nation-states that would become major players in the coming brinkmanship and World Wars. Once Prussia unites the German provinces, the balance of power in continental Europe is once again called into question, and paranoia once again sets in. Alliances are quickly formed - some secret, some not so secret. And we are just priming the pump for a spark to set-off a powder keg.

So how does this happen? Look at how Italy and Germany unite. Use your textbook and the links below to fill-in your charts comparing the different players, maps, and speeches used to bring two different countries united during the same time period.
