The map above best illustrates which of the following aspects about the unification of
Germany between 1866 and 1871 ?
(A) It was achieved through a combination of diplomatic and military means.
(B) It was led by the government of German-speaking Austria.
(C) The states that became part of unified Germany in 1871 had previously been allies of
Austria.
(D) Prussians could vote for Parliament in the unified German state, but Germans from
other states could not.
Answer:
Option (A) is correct.
The map shows that some German states joined the North German
Confederation, and others joined the German Empire, on their own accord, while other
German states were annexed by Prussia as a result of military victories (in the PrussianAustrian War of 1866 and in the Franco- Prussian War of 1870–1871). The southern states
that joined the Empire in 1871 (Bavaria, Baden, Württemberg, and Hesse-Darmstadt) had
previously been allies of Austria (in the Prussian-Austrian war of 1866), but that is not
reflected in the map.
