The historical significance of the period 1864-1870, epitomized by
the establishment of Prussian hegemony in Gennany, has been per
petuated in numerous studies. The diplomatic history of these
decisive years has proven especially fascinating, for the
fundamental changes in Gennany's political frame had a momentous
influence upon the course of European history. The war of 1866
destroyed the last vestiges of Austrian supremacy in Gennany and
inaugurated a reorganization under Prussian domination. The
international repercussions of this transfonnation in the heart of
Europe are fully reflected in the diplo macy of the period, in view
of the disruptive effect upon the existing power equilibrium. The
manner in which Napoleon III and his govern ment reacted to the
events was of crucial portent for the future of his empire. An
inquiry into Ambassador Benedetti's mission to Berlin contributes
materially to an understanding of imperial diplomacy, primarily as
related to Prussia, in this critical period. The present study was
suggested by Dr. Lynn M. Case and began to take shape in his
seminars on European diplomatic history. Bene detti's constant
association with French diplomacy between 1864 and 1870 seemed to
warrant a detailed and critical examination of his mission. Despite
the advent of the telegraph diplomatic representa tives continued
to fonn an important part of the diplomatic appa ratus and
Benedetti was no exception. Past studies based exclusively on his
career are very few. Frensdorff's Preussische Jahrbucher article
appeared shortly after the outbreak of the war in 1870.
