What was the strategic importance of victory over Austria in German unification?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: It strengthened Prussian leadership in German areas
Austria was the principal rival of Prussia for influence over the German states. Prussia's victory in the Austro-Prussian War of 1866 excluded Austria from German political affairs and enabled Prussia to reorganise the northern German states under its leadership. This prepared the way for the later German Empire. The other options are historically unrelated, so option A is correct.
