Why did Prussia try to exclude Austria from German affairs?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: So that Prussia could lead German unification without serious challenge
The central issue was whether Austria or Prussia would control the movement for German unity. Austria led the older German Confederation and represented a rival, conservative power. Prussia therefore defeated Austria in the Seven Weeks’ War of 1866 and formed the North German Confederation without it. Option A is correct; B and C do not describe Prussian aims, and D reverses the importance of economic integration.
