Answer 1

Theunification of Germanyinto a politically and administratively integratednation stateofficially occurred on 18 January 1871 in theHall of Mirrorsat thePalace of VersaillesinFrance. Princes of the German states gathered there to proclaimWilhelm IofPrussiaasGerman Emperorafter the French capitulation in theFranco-Prussian War. Unofficially, thede factotransition of most of the German-speaking populations into a federated organization of states had been developing for some time through alliances formal and informal between princely rulers—but in fits and starts; self-interests of the various parties hampered the process over nearly a century of autocratic experimentation, beginning in the era of theNapoleonic Wars, which saw the dissolution of theHoly Roman Empire(1806), and the subsequent rise ofGerman nationalism.
