Question

Why is Otto von Bismarck called the architect of Germany?

Answer 1

This is a very long and complicated answer, one that you might not be able to grasp, so I will try, in a few lines, to tell you that Germany did not exist, only as a collection of principalities.

Bismark strove to unite those germanic principalitites, and indeed, he succeeded in doing so. The anexing of the Frencnh territory of Alsas Lorain by the new Germany, led directly to Germany's involvement in WW-I..
