Before 1871 there was no "Germany" — only dozens of principalities and kingdoms. Prussian chancellor Otto von Bismarck united the country through three wars (Denmark 1864, Austria 1866, France 1870) and diplomacy. On 18 January 1871, the German Empire was proclaimed at Versailles — the Prussian king became Kaiser Wilhelm I.
