What role did Prussia's army and bureaucracy play in German unification?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: They gave organised power and discipline to the unification process.
Prussia possessed a strong army, efficient administration and a centralised bureaucracy. Under Otto von Bismarck, these institutions helped organise taxation, diplomacy, mobilisation and warfare. Prussia therefore became the leading force in bringing the German states together. Option A is correct. Options B, C and D are wrong because Prussian institutions supported unification, did not control Italy, and were not mainly responsible for preserving the Papal States.
