The catalyst to bringing this about was the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, when the other German states fought alongside the Prussians.

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "2 - Otto Van Bismarck At Four Stages Of His Career, 1907" captures the remarkable journey of Otto Edward Leopold, Count von Bismarck. This influential figure served as Chancellor of Prussia and played a pivotal role in shaping modern Germany. In this image, we witness Bismarck at four distinct stages of his illustrious career. The first stage portrays him as an envoy at the German Diet in 1858, showcasing his early involvement in politics. As we move forward through time, we observe the transformation of a man driven by ambition and determination. Bismarck's ultimate goal was to unify the fragmented German states under Prussian leadership. It was during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870 that he found the catalyst for achieving this vision. With other German states fighting alongside Prussia and France's defeat, Bismarck seized the opportunity to establish the German Empire in 1871 with himself as Chancellor. This engraving from Dr. H. F. Helmolt's "The World's History" offers us a glimpse into Bismarck's resolute gaze and distinguished presence. Adorned with medals symbolizing his accomplishments and influence, it is evident that he commanded respect throughout his career. As we delve into this historic photograph print from Heritage Images, we are reminded of Otto Von Bismarck's indelible mark on Germany’s history—a legacy that continues to shape our understanding of nation-building and diplomacy even today.
