=Growth of Nationalism and Nation-states=

Napoleons' invasion unleashed new forces in territories such as Prussia and Australia Hapsburg Empire. However the Germans welcomed the French Empire and Napoleon dissolved the Holy Roman Empire by forcing the title of king to be less impoortant. Napoleon also organized a number of German states. Not all Germans were this appreciative though and didn't come around to the idea. Many fought to be free from French rule. Those Germans were wrong though, because the only way to be free from French rule would be to have each German state dismantled by government. As an attempt to resolution; peacemakers created the German confederate; a [weak] alliance headed from Australia. Prussia created a zollvereign--dismantling barriers between German states. Later on in 1848 liberals held a meeting in Frankfort, and demanded the unity of Germany. Over the next three years Prussia and Bismarck held three wars determining Germanys unity. Concluding the wars, a German Empire is born.
