Why is German unification seen as a mixture of nationalism and militarism?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: National unity was achieved through Prussian military power
German nationalism created the desire to unite people who shared language and cultural ties, but that aspiration alone did not establish the German Empire. Bismarck used Prussia’s disciplined army, state power and a series of wars to achieve political unity. Option A is correct because it combines the national goal with the military method. Literature contributed to identity, but it did not alone create the empire.
