Who is called "Prime Minister of Iron Blood"

Otto von bismarck 18 15 April 1 was born in Prussia into a noble and big landlord family. He is in his father's room.

I spent my childhood in the manor. Later, he entered the university to study. During his studies, he was violent and rude, as before.

Learned to fight 27 times. After graduating from college, he returned to his hometown to manage his two territories.

1848, a revolution broke out in Germany, and Bismarck organized troops in his own territory to suppress the revolution by force.

From1851-1858 as the representative of Prussia in the German Federal Council, from 1859 as the ambassador to Russia, from 186 1 as the ambassador to France, and from1859. As can be seen from the above introduction, Bismarck is a die-hard advocate of the use of force. He knows the inner thoughts of Russian and French rulers very well, which makes him know how to use force against the enemy after becoming prime minister.

Bismarck made his first speech in the state legislature in his first week as prime minister. He said with great excitement: "Contemporary major political issues cannot be decided by empty words and most resolutions, but must be solved by iron and blood. What Germany is counting on is not Prussian liberalism, but his force! " This is the origin of "Prime Minister of Iron Blood". So what is the intention of his speech?

It turns out that many centuries ago, Germany was already in a state of disintegration, and this leaderless situation is famous in Europe. 18 15 years, various feudal countries held a meeting in Vienna and established the "German Federation", including small countries with strong strength such as Austria and Prussia, 34 countries and 4 free cities. However, this Federation is not a unified country. Small countries still have completely independent sovereignty, independent government and army, inviolable territory, different tariff policies and different levels of development. In fact, the so-called confederation is just a form.

However, the initiative of small countries to unite illustrates an important problem, that is, division is not conducive to economic development. For the common interests of all small German countries, they would rather unite.

The wish is good. It can be said that the unification of Germany is an inevitable trend of historical development. However, how to unify? Who will unify?

One? This question is obviously difficult. This loose and non-binding "confederation" is not enough. In this way, in the 1950s and 1960s of19th century, the unification of Germany was put on the agenda of small countries. Every small feudal country is playing its own wishful thinking.

Obviously, the situation was favorable to the two great powers at that time, namely Austria and Prussia.

Austria wants to unify Germany with itself as the center and wants to be included in Prussia like other small countries. On the other hand, Prussia excluded Austria from their planned unified country.

In this way, the two sides launched a struggle.

In the early 1950s, the two sides were evenly matched. 1in the spring of 850, Austria took the initiative to launch an offensive. In May, Austria convened a meeting of representatives of all Germany in Frankfurt, and the meeting decided to restore the parliament of all Germany, with Austria and Pu taking turns as the chairman. However, Prussia flatly refused. As a result, the negotiations between the two sides ended.

In the late 1950s, Prussia began to counterattack. It first developed economic ties with many small German countries. And use 18.

1959, France and Italy had the opportunity to fight Austria in an attempt to force the German parliament to hand over its leadership. 1in the spring of 960, Prussia began military reform and its military strength was greatly strengthened.

1September 862, when Bismarck became prime minister, it was Prussia's military strength that was on the rise, which just laid a solid foundation for his iron and blood policy.

Bismarck knew very well that bourgeois members in parliament would only make noise. They are weak and powerless to oppose the government. Therefore, in order to implement the "iron and blood policy" more effectively, he simply kicked the parliament. When the parliament accused the government of "violating the Constitution", he was not afraid, but publicly threatened: "Conflict is inevitable, and the most powerful party in the conflict will definitely win!" A challenger's posture. At the same time, he also knew that once his "iron-blooded policy" won the final victory and achieved the reunification of Germany, these chattering bourgeois parliamentarians would immediately kneel before him.

The first step of Bismarck's "iron and blood policy" was to attack Denmark. At the end of 1863, Denmark merged with Schleswig, a small principality, belonging to the German Weft Union. At the beginning of the following year, Bismarck joined forces with Austria against Denmark. Bismarck wanted to be unified with Austria.

Dan, the reason is that it not only relieves worries, but also communicates with the outside world. Austria immediately agreed to Prussia's request, and Puao jointly issued an ultimatum to Denmark, and then went to war. Denmark defeated 60,000 enemies with 40,000 soldiers. Prussia got Schleswig. Austria also accepted another small principality, Holstein. The second step of the "iron-blooded policy" is to provoke a war against Austria. After defeating Denmark, Bismarck turned his gun and aimed at Austria. But defeating Austria is not like defeating.

Denmark is too easy. So Bismarck first United with Italy. Italy has been bullied by Austria in Venice, so it immediately agreed to Prussia's request and the two sides formed an anti-Austrian alliance. Then, Bismarck went to France three times, pretending to promise Charles Louis Napolé on Bonaparte that France would get a territorial reward after defeating Austria. In this way, France has stabilized.

After doing this, Bismarck repeatedly challenged Austria to cede Holstein, a small principality recently acquired from Denmark, to Prussia, and at the same time proposed a bill to reform the German Federation, with a view to excluding Austria's influence in Germany as a whole. Of course, Austria refused, so it joined many small German countries to "sanction" Prussia. So the Puao War broke out.

In June, 280,000 Austrian troops fought with 250,000 Pujun troops. On July 3, the two sides gathered near the village of Sadova to launch a decisive battle. Bismarck made up his mind to defeat the Austrian army in one fell swoop, and took poison with him, ready to commit suicide by taking poison once he failed!

As a result, Pu Jun won a great victory. 10 days later, Bismarck approached Vienna, Austria. When someone proposed to occupy the whole of Austria in one fell swoop, the cunning Bismarck would not listen. He estimated that he would intervene in France. Besides, he might use Austria.

Sure enough, Charles Louis Napolé on Bonaparte intervened and the two sides reached an agreement. Austria announced its withdrawal from Germany and ceded four states and a free city to Prussia.

Prussia thus unified the whole northern and central Germany and established the North German Federation. At this time, only four small countries in southern Germany near France remained independent. Bismarck wanted to annex these four small countries, but he knew that France also had the same laws. France was so powerful that it was impossible to achieve German reunification without defeating him. At the same time, Bismarck was also interested in Alsace and Lorraine, the rich areas of France, and he had long coveted them.

Therefore, the third step of Bismarck's "iron and blood policy" is to carry out the Franco-Prussian war and defeat France.

So, after full preparation, he launched the Franco-Prussian War at 1870, and won the next year. Prussian troops moved in.

Versailles near Paris, at Versailles Palace, announced the establishment of the German Empire headed by Prussia. King William of Prussia

I am the emperor of the German Empire and Bismarck is the Prime Minister. The unification of Germany has been completely realized.

This is Bismarck's "iron and blood policy", which he adopted and eventually unified Germany.

Objectively speaking, Germany's reunification is a historical necessity, which contributes to the development of German economy and is progressive. However, the system

After World War I, Germany's strength gradually became stronger, which may be due to the constant influence of this "iron-blooded policy", and Germany gradually became a world war.

Origin has brought great disaster and pain to people all over the world.
