Their resources and growing population contributed to that. Soon, steel, railroads, weapons, and more industrial marvels began to appear all over Germany. Education soon became an important factor of life in Germany. Economy grew and did better. The government organized the banks, arranged a nation-wide currency, and more that led to general development. This great growth made Germany one of the staples of military power in Europe as well.]]> 2019-01-10 15:36:57 UTC https://padlet.com/735rlk19/h53yts85n7gh/wish/319293213 735rlk19 https://padlet.com/735rlk19/h53yts85n7gh/wish/319324883 Bismark, chancellor of the new German empire, held strong foreign policies, the biggest being rivalry with Britain who competed for overseas land. He believes that two groups were the key to true loyalty within Germany- the Catholic Church and the Socialists. Bismark thought both threatened Germany, and with them gone everyone would be much better off. ]]> 2019-01-10 16:25:08 UTC https://padlet.com/735rlk19/h53yts85n7gh/wish/319324883 735rlk19 https://padlet.com/735rlk19/h53yts85n7gh/wish/319330311 Bismark believed that the clergy were dangerous because their first loyalties were to religion, which is why he pushed Kulturkampf, which supervised the Church, expelled the Jesuits from Prussia and more that limited religious authority. This entirely backfired, the Church gained support, and Bismark quickly attempted peace.  ]]> 2019-01-10 16:33:26 UTC https://padlet.com/735rlk19/h53yts85n7gh/wish/319330311 735rlk19 https://padlet.com/735rlk19/h53yts85n7gh/wish/319334814 German Marxists had organized a Democratic Socialist party, which demanded equality and rights for the middle class. Bismark feared this might lead into revolution. He made laws, got rid of their newspapers, banned their meetings, but it once again backfired. people rallied behind the Socialist group, and Bismark was in trouble.]]> 2019-01-10 16:40:13 UTC https://padlet.com/735rlk19/h53yts85n7gh/wish/319334814 735rlk19 https://padlet.com/735rlk19/h53yts85n7gh/wish/319337828 Bismark decided that the best way to end socialism it to give up a few rights to them in order to decrease their orders. health and accident insurance, old-age insurance, and more laws of equality were passed, making Germany a pioneer in social reform, with other European nations soon to follow. The plan didn't work, and the Democratic Socialist Party continued to grow. But the example showed that progress could be made without revolution, and Germany continued to grow into a powerhouse of economics, military, and society. ]]> 2019-01-10 16:44:36 UTC https://padlet.com/735rlk19/h53yts85n7gh/wish/319337828 735rlk19 https://padlet.com/735rlk19/h53yts85n7gh/wish/319349582 2019-01-10 17:03:48 UTC https://padlet.com/735rlk19/h53yts85n7gh/wish/319349582 735rlk19 https://padlet.com/735rlk19/h53yts85n7gh/wish/319350378 2019-01-10 17:05:05 UTC https://padlet.com/735rlk19/h53yts85n7gh/wish/319350378 735rlk19 https://padlet.com/735rlk19/h53yts85n7gh/wish/319350851 2019-01-10 17:05:52 UTC https://padlet.com/735rlk19/h53yts85n7gh/wish/319350851 735rlk19 https://padlet.com/735rlk19/h53yts85n7gh/wish/319540109 2019-01-11 03:18:16 UTC https://padlet.com/735rlk19/h53yts85n7gh/wish/319540109 735rlk19 https://padlet.com/735rlk19/h53yts85n7gh/wish/319856342 2019-01-11 20:05:40 UTC https://padlet.com/735rlk19/h53yts85n7gh/wish/319856342
