Answer 1

In the middle of the nineteenth century, industrialization, urbanization, and the development of European railroad networks strengthened the centralization of national markets and increased the government role in shaping economic and social policies.The growing financial infrastructure associated with banks and stock markets also entailed a new demand for the government to play a greater role as enforcer of rules and guarantor of risky railroad investments.In 1834, Prussia created the German Customs Union (Zollverein) in order to promote German economic development and financial security while affirming Prussian leadership.
