Question

The cover of a German almanac designed by the journalist andreas rebmann in 1798

Answer 1

The unification of Germany into a politically and administratively integrated nation stateofficially occurred on 18 January 1871, in theHall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles in France. Princes of the German states, excluding Austria, gathered there to proclaimWilhelm I of Prussia as German Emperor after the French capitulation in the Franco-Prussian War. Unofficially, the de facto transition 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. The self-interests of the various parties hampered the process over nearly a century of autocratic experimentation, beginning in the era of theNapoleonic Wars, which prompted the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation in 1806, and the subsequent rise of German nationalism.

Unification exposed tensions due to religious, linguistic, social, and cultural differences among the inhabitants of the new nation, suggesting that 1871 only represented one moment in a continuum of the larger unification processes. The Holy Roman Emperor had been often called "Emperor of all the Germanies"; contemporary news accounts frequently referred to "The Germanies".

Answer 2

The cover of a German almanac designed by the journalist Andreas Rebmann in 1798 is related to the French Revolution and its revolutionaries. It has the image of Bastille prison stormed by revolutionaries in 1789. The Bastille Fort represented represented royal authority and thus its fall was very significant for the revolutionaries.
