Solution

The correct option is A

Chief minister of Prussia


Answer: The correct answer is option (a) – Chief Minister of Prussia.

  • Otto Von Bismarck was the Chief Minister of Prussia.
  • Otto Von Bismarck played a leading role in the unification of Germany.
  • Otto von Bismarck was the architect of German unification.
  • Otto Von Bismarck carried out this process of German unification with the help of bureaucracy and the Prussian Army.

Among the middle class Germans, the nationalist feelings were widespread. In 1848, they tried to unite the different regions of the German confederation into a nation-state governed by an elected parliament, however they were repressed by the combined forces of the large landowners (called Junkers) of Prussia, military, and the monarchy. Later on, the leadership of the movement for national unification was taken by Prussia. To proclaim the new German Empire headed by Kaiser William I of Prussia, Otto von Bismarck gathered in the unheated Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles.
