The establishment of the economic German Empire swept away the main obstacles to the development of capitalist economy. From 65438 to the 1970s, the empire promulgated a series of bills which were beneficial to the development of capitalist economy, such as the banking law, the unified currency law, the patent law, the unified tariff law and the unified measurement law. Through the Franco-Prussian War, the French plundered 5 billion gold francs in war reparations, iron ore and potash mines in alsace-lorraine, and accepted and applied advanced science and technology and production experience of other countries, which made the imperial economy develop rapidly. The economic crisis in the early 1980s and from 1890 to 1893 accelerated the concentration of industry and banking, and the industrial revolution was completed in the 1990s. Soon, the output of heavy industry surpassed that of Britain, ranking first in Europe.
In the early days of the German Empire, Bismarck was the actual maker of domestic and foreign policies. The starting point of its domestic policy is to safeguard the privileges of Prussia and Juncker and take care of the interests of the big bourgeoisie. The cultural struggle against the Catholic Church began with 1872, 1878 promulgating the socialist law, and 1879 adopting a high protective tariff policy. Foreign policy is a continental policy aimed at striving for hegemony in the European continent. Therefore, 1873 restored the alliance of Germany, Russia and Austria, and 1882 established the triple alliance of Germany, Austria and Italy. William I died in 1888, and his son Frederick III died after only 99 days in office. His grandson William II dismissed Bismarck in 1890 to strengthen his decision-making power. In the late 1990s, the bourgeoisie further integrated with Junker, actively expanded its troops abroad to prepare for war, openly advocated aggression and expansion, power colonization, pursued world policies, and demanded a new division of the world. At the beginning of the 20th century, domestic contradictions intensified, as did conflicts with established imperialism such as Britain, Russia and France, which eventually led to the outbreak of the First World War. Germany lost in the war. I hope the end of the German Empire can help you.
