Road to Unity Part 2 | Bismarck and the Unification of Germany | Ancient to Recent | Episode 6

Bismarck’s Empire: Building Germany, Crushing Enemies, and Creating a Nation

After unification, the real challenge began. In this episode, we explore how Otto von Bismarck governed the new German Empire from 1871 to 1890 navigating class tension, religious conflict, rapid industrialization, and the rise of socialism.

From Kulturkampf and anti-socialist laws to revolutionary social reforms and colonial tensions, this is the story of how Bismarck tried to forge a single national identity from a patchwork of kingdoms, faiths, and cultures until a young, ambitious Kaiser ended his reign.
