‘German Aggression Was Responsible For The Outbreak of A General European War In August 1914’. How Far Do You Agree With This Judgement?

Certainly the strength of the Prussian military was key to the unification of Germany as it was vital in winning the three wars of unification, but it shall be argued that the military were as strong as they were due to other more important actors such as Economics and Bismarck. Economics being the most important factor, as it provided a basis for unification as it showed the German people the prosperity of being together than apart. However something has to be said for the work of Bismarck, who acted as a catalyst and manipulated the situations around him to him speed up the unification of the German states, so successfully that many traditional historians argue that Bismarck was solely responsible in bringing about unification. The mistakes of other countries and the international scene meant that Austria was expelled and Prussia could lead the states into unification and the mistakes Napoleon meant that the northern and southern states would not have been united.
