The Wars of German Unification is the definitive account of the
three of the most decisive conflicts in the history of modern
Europe. In this new edition, Dennis Showalter offers a thoroughly
updated look at the wars and their context that will be invaluable
for those interested in the military, social and political history
of the period. Showalter explores how the Schleswig-Holstein
conflict of 1864; the 'Six Weeks War' of 1866; and the
Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71 fundamentally altered the balance of
power in nineteenth-century Europe. They marked the establishment
of Prussian hegemony in central Europe, the creation of the
Bismarckian Reich in 1871, and the reduction of Habsburg influence
and the collapse of Napoleon III's Second Empire. The Wars of
German Unification offers a balanced and incisive account of the
wars, their origins and their consequences, and firmly embeds these
conflicts in their political, ideological and military contexts.
This volume traces the transition from the 'cabinet wars' of the
19th century and shows how the conflicts that made up the wars of
German unification provided the foundation for the birth of modern
warfare.
