The Prussian Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck was the driving force for the unification of Germany. To do this, he used a "blood and iron" technique. The Austro-Prussian War of 1866 and the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–1871 were two of the conflicts and diplomatic moves that went into the unification of Germany. On January 18, 1871, King Wilhelm I of Prussia was declared the Emperor (Kaiser) of the newly united Germany at the Palace of Versailles.

In the middle of the 19th century, he was the prime minister of the important Italian state of the Kingdom of Piedmont-Sardinia. In order to reduce Austrian rule over Italian territory, Cavour played a significant role in forming alliances with other Italian states and European powers. His diplomatic efforts and political maneuvers made a crucial contribution to Italy's eventual unification in 1861. Cavour's foresight and leadership are credited with assisting Italy's unification as a nation-state.

After years of military warfare and talks between Mexican independence leaders and Spanish authorities, this recognition finally occurred. The First Mexican Empire, with Agustin de Iturbide as its first emperor, was able to come into existence thanks to the acknowledgment of Mexico's independence. This empire, however, did not last long, as Mexico later changed its status to a republic in 1823. The recognition of Mexican independence by Spain was a pivotal event in Mexican history that set the stage for the country's future growth as a sovereign state.]]> 2023-10-06 17:19:25 UTC https://padlet.com/27kotykelizabeth/i216rni5h7h72xaj/wish/2735920123 27kotykelizabeth https://padlet.com/27kotykelizabeth/i216rni5h7h72xaj/wish/2735921106 This map shows what different parts of Germany looked like during the time of unification.]]> 2023-10-06 17:20:14 UTC https://padlet.com/27kotykelizabeth/i216rni5h7h72xaj/wish/2735921106 27kotykelizabeth https://padlet.com/27kotykelizabeth/i216rni5h7h72xaj/wish/2735921802 Realism piece of art]]> 2023-10-06 17:20:54 UTC https://padlet.com/27kotykelizabeth/i216rni5h7h72xaj/wish/2735921802 27kotykelizabeth https://padlet.com/27kotykelizabeth/i216rni5h7h72xaj/wish/2735924328 The United States declared independence from Great Britain in 1776, leaving Central Europe with around 300 sovereign, independent states. The German states were part of the Holy Roman Empire, which dated back to the 800s. In the mid-eighteenth century, a rivalry developed between Austria and Prussia, the two largest states of the Holy Roman Empire. Austria was traditionally the dominant state, but Prussia challenged its hegemony in the 1740s. Prussia officially recognized the United States in 1785, while Austria did not until 1797. ]]> 2023-10-06 17:23:07 UTC https://padlet.com/27kotykelizabeth/i216rni5h7h72xaj/wish/2735924328 27kotykelizabeth https://padlet.com/27kotykelizabeth/i216rni5h7h72xaj/wish/2735927956 This map shows what different parts of Italy looked like during the time of unification.]]> 2023-10-06 17:25:34 UTC https://padlet.com/27kotykelizabeth/i216rni5h7h72xaj/wish/2735927956 27kotykelizabeth https://padlet.com/27kotykelizabeth/i216rni5h7h72xaj/wish/2735928369 View of the Caelian Hill piece of art]]> 2023-10-06 17:25:58 UTC https://padlet.com/27kotykelizabeth/i216rni5h7h72xaj/wish/2735928369 27kotykelizabeth https://padlet.com/27kotykelizabeth/i216rni5h7h72xaj/wish/2735928970 Italy was founded in 1861 by leaders who unified the land into a single nation.

Cortés founded Ciudad de Mexico and a series of viceroys, known as New Spain. Despite his traditional education, Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla rejected many of Catholicism's fundamental tenets, including the Virgin birth, clerical celibacy, and the existence of hell. The earliest revolt against Spanish rule was led by Martín Cortés, the illegitimate son of Hernán Cortés and his translator, La Malinche. The Mexican War of Independence was sparked by Napoleon's invasion and occupation of Spain from 1808 to 1813. ]]> 2023-10-09 16:51:18 UTC https://padlet.com/27kotykelizabeth/i216rni5h7h72xaj/wish/2738486516
