Early on some of the people of Germany formed the German confederation to try and tame the rivalry between Austria and Prussia as well as unify some of the states. They did not succeed and the confederation dissolved. Prussia ended up beating the Austrians which meant they took leadership of the German states. The king of Prussia appointed Otto Von Bismark who united Germany through "Blood and iron." Bismark beat the Austrians once again which united the north and south.
