Excerpt from A Guide to the Military History of the World War, 1914-1918 It must be remembered that Germany had been steadily growing in power in the nineteenth century, after the empires of Europe had been restored by the Congress of Vienna Prussia had then been reestablished after the devastation of Napoleon, and had gradually assumed the leadership of the German States In the sixties the wars with Denmark and Austria had strengthened this leadership, and Prussia had become a strong military power. Then came the successful franco-german War of 1870, won by the well-organized military power of Prussia and the German States, which resulted in uniting the Ger man States under the King of Prussia as German Emperor. After the War of 1870 Germany continued to gain power under the shrewd policies of Bismarck, l who took advantage of the enmity between Great Britain and Russia at the end of the russo-turkish War of 1877, and made Germany a dominating power in Europe at the Congress of Berlin at which the treaties were drawn up after this war. In the crucial period of the last quarter of the century Bismarck was the directing genius of the policies of Germany, which gave to the nation, in addition to its great military strength, an industrial and commercial development that secured world-wide commerce for Germany.
