The times make a hero, and his era is the era when the capitalist mode of production is developing rapidly in Germany. In order to break through the obstacles of feudal separatism to the economy, the unification of Germany was put on the historical agenda. There were two ways to unify Germany at that time. One is "bottom-up", when the people rise up for revolution, overthrow feudal forces and establish a unified democratic country. The other is "top-down", which unified the German states under the leadership of Prussia or Austrian monarchs through dynastic wars. However, due to the immaturity of the bourgeoisie and the proletariat at that time, the former road could not be taken. Germany moved towards reunification through the second road, in which Bismarck made outstanding contributions.
Bismarck, known as the "prime minister of iron and blood", has been controversial in history, with mixed comments. And his own life is indeed ups and downs, extremely complicated. He was born in a Junk aristocratic family in a Prussian village and belonged to a stubborn conservative in his early years. /kloc-when the revolution broke out in 0/848, he once said, "I am Yong ke, and I must overwhelm the revolution." When he entered politics, his thoughts changed after the 1950s. He recognized the historical inevitability of reunifying Germany, correctly estimated the situation at the same time, put the leadership of the great cause of reunification in the hands of Prussian Juncker, and to some extent United the emerging bourgeoisie. Since then, the reunification of Germany has become his goal and ambition. As the representative of Prussia to the Bundestag and the ambassador to Russia and France, he kept an eye on this goal all the time and showed his talents. At the critical moment of German reunification, he became Prime Minister of Prussia, engaged in various maneuvers, eliminated interference, resolutely implemented the "iron-blooded policy", and finally achieved his goal. Bismarck went all out to conform to the times, showing his perseverance and courage, and played a positive role in the process of unifying Germany. Lenin commented on him and said, "Bismarck completed the progressive cause in history in his own way and in a brave way." Rimsky, a Soviet historian, said that he was "not only the grave digger of 1848 incomplete revolution, but also the executor of this revolution." This sentence can be said to accurately and vividly summarize Bismarck's complex and contradictory life.
