After hearing Jaco Jerena Klimova's words, Emperor Hua's eyes lit up, and Princess Katrina Kaif and Zeng Jize were also thinking.

The cute CEO has already woken up, "Oh, Jaco Jerena Klimova, you have not done anything in Central Asia for the past few years. I'm right to take you out for a visit!"

Jaco Jerena Klimova smiled slightly: "Your Majesty is over, I just have a little immature experience."

In terms of the German Kingdom, which is one of the three crowns of the Holy Roman Empire, is Austria Germany? It must be!

Austria is the eastern border region of Bavaria and became the Principality of Austria independently, but it is one of the four Principalities of Old Germany.

So, based on this standard, is Prussia Germany?

The Principality of Prussia was obviously not. Both Prussia were fiefs from the Kingdom of Poland. Even if it gained independence later, it could only be said that this Principality was a free state without a monarchy, and it did not handle any legal procedures to join the Kingdom of Germany.

What about the Brandenburg part of Prussia? Brandenburg border area is counted.

However, the Brandenburg border was established by the Slav Pribyslav. Albert, the Big Bear, inherited the Brandenburg territory of Pribyslav. So in fact, the two most important components of the Prussian Kingdom, Prussia and Brandenburg are not considered German Kingdom territory at all, and the other is the slightly far-fetched German Kingdom territory. As for the Prussian Kingdom in the 18th century, how could one kingdom belong to another kingdom?

The Prussian king became a prince of the Holy Roman Empire only because he also served as the Earl of Brandenburg's border area, not because Prussia was a German state.

So why did Austria not join the German Empire in 1871 while Prussia joined? It was simple, because the dynasty war Austria was defeated.

So why didn't Germany march into Vienna and seize Austria? Because Prussia doesn't want to.

This kind of not wanting is not based on gifts or mercy, but the Prussians must not take such risks.

After the Prussia-Austrian War, Prussia annexed the small German states that they were eager to annex between its eastern and western territories since the conclusion of the contract in 1815, and organized the remaining states into the North German Confederacy. In 1870, this confederacy was expanded to the four southern German states.

Therefore, the originally drafted constitution was basically the Constitution of the German Confederacy, which basically changed the Constitution of the North German Confederacy and incorporated the Southern German state into the confederacy system. The head of the Confederacy was still the Confederacy chaired by the King of Prussia. However, at this time, Bismarck asked the King of Bavaria to write a letter to urge William of Hohenzollen to be emperor, so he promulgated the emperor's declaration. In this way, the Confederacy became emperor and the Confederacy became an empire.

However, the rights of the four South German states were almost completely lost. When the King of Wutemberg threatened to sever diplomatic relations with Prussia, it almost led to the imperial constitutional crisis, the Berlin court was almost helpless. This was the hidden danger left by the 1871 Constitution.

But why did the Prussian court leave such hidden dangers? The reason is very simple, because they do not want to annex the Southern German states.

After 1871, until the end of the nineteenth century and the early twentieth century, the German Empire was purely the Great Prussia. The army, diplomacy and government were all controlled by Prussia. The Catholic population was nearly 30%, but only 10% among the generals of the army.

The German Emperor's Declaration in 1871 was the only concession made by the Prussian court to national unity, and there would never be any more concessions. If you want a national flag, you will give you a national flag. If you want an emperor, you will give you an emperor. As for the other embarrassment, you will give you an emperor.

Bismarck was a Prussian nobleman who wanted to use the national unity movement, but would not really make concessions to the national unity movement.

Prussia must also be Prussia. The Empire is just a tool of Prussia and must be in the hands of Prussia. The imperial prime minister was also appointed by the Prime Minister of Prussia, while the Empire did not even have its own foreign minister but only a diplomatic secretary.

The diplomacy of the empire must be in the hands of the Prussian Prime Minister.

If a Great Germany was established in 1871, the four major states of Southern Germany, Austria would all join this empire, and Austria would not even be enough to become a state, because the Habsburg monarch had given up on Austria.

Then the Catholic population within the empire will be disastrously growing and become a force that cannot be ignored. In fact, even in the small German Empire, the Catholic Central Party will become a headache for the empire. If Austria, Vienna is coupled with a large number of liberal intellectuals and fantasy nationalists.

Can the Prussian nobles still keep Greater Prussia?

The more you have a deeper understanding of this history in Europe, the more fun the Emperor Hua felt. The Emperor Hua believed that as long as the Chinese country in the late 19th century had escaped from the broken ship of the Qing court, even if they swim forward, they could keep up with the footsteps of the great powers. What's more, the Chinese country under the leadership of Emperor Hua is no longer the strength to swim, but at least it is a huge dragon boat!

Emperor Hua just wants to gradually transform this dragon ship into an iron warship, plus mechanical kinetic energy!

Why did the Great German plan be abandoned after Prussia gained the dominance of German reunification?

Because the territory of the Austrian Habsburg Dynasty at that time was not only Austria, but also part of today's Czech Republic, Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia, including Italy, Poland, and Romania.

In addition to the title of the Austrian Emperor (formerly the Grand Duke of Austria, in 1805, Austria also called the Empire in order to deal with Napoleon's name. A year later, the Holy Roman Empire was forced to disband by Napoleon, and the Austrian Emperor became the basis for the Habsburg family to continue the title of emperor), there were also titles such as the King of Hungary, the King of Bohemia, and later the King of Croatia and Slovenia.

The Habsburgs could not give up these territories and join the new German Empire, and the Hungarians and others could not follow Austria to join the German nation-state.

If Austria disintegrates in the political crisis that occurs after it is defeated by Prussia and Hungary and other territories become independent, it is very likely that Austria will join the German Empire alone.

The reality is that Austria finally achieved a compromise with Hungary. By transforming the original Austrian Empire into the Austro-Hungarian dual Empire, it maintained the unity of the empire. However, at the same time, it turned the country from a German-dominated country to a diverse country, and cut off the possibility of joining the German Empire.

Shinra is an alliance of vassal states of all sizes.

Historically, Germany refers to a large area.

There are two countries on this land that have the most hope of unifying the Shenla, one is Prussia of the Hohenzollern family and the other is Austria of the Habsburg dynasty.

Then regarding unification, there were two plans in history. One was the Little German plan, that is, the unification of North Germany by Prussia. The later German Empire was basically established on this basis; the other was the so-called Great German plan, that is, Austria was included, but the problem was obvious. If the two strong forces merged, then who is the boss? This is difficult to solve.

The famous Austrian foreign minister in history, a staunch supporter of the anti-French alliance, Metternich, who is known as the European foreign minister together with Tarelon of France, also firmly opposes the merger.

Since the 13th century, the power of Emperor Shinra has become very weak. The leaders of various "kingdoms", "principalities", and "digelicals".

1618-1648, Thirty Years' War. The ending was that the Catholic Union was defeated, Austria further lost its voice in the German region. It can be said that Shinra was essentially destroyed (the emperor officially stepped down in 1806), and Prussia rose.

Prussia came from behind, not German orthodox.

1648-1866, with the rise of Prussia, it began to seek leadership in the German region.

German nationalism calls for unification. But Austria is unwilling to give up. He fought in the Pakatan-Austria war and did not bow his head. Bismarck said he would not fight (it took a total of 7 weeks), and the unification is almost done (mainly Bavaria in Southern Germany, etc.). Let’s engage in internal affairs, and this problem will be solved in the future.

Even after the Prussia-Austria War, Austria was still a behemoth, and Prussia could not directly annex Austria.

After Germany was reunified, it was necessary to unite Austria to fight against Russia and France for the sake of continental checks and balances.

It is so difficult for a little bit of Europe and a little bit of Germany to unify. In fact, at this time, there was still no macro concept in Emperor Hua’s mind that he wanted to go to Europe to cause trouble.

At present, in the hearts of Emperor Hua, Europe is just his competitor. Not only Emperor Hua, but also the entire official class of China, basically the same idea.

Until now, China still has a problem of self-protection. Therefore, Zeng Jize often cannot understand Emperor Hua's ambitions and feels that Emperor Hua is sometimes arrogant.

But Li Hongzhang felt increasingly that China is already the overlord of Asia. In Asia, not to mention self-protection, but should have more say!

During the visit to Europe, Emperor Hua did not give Li Hongzhang any clear instructions, nor did he specifically instruct Li Hongzhang to be harder or softer in Japan, and Comrade Li Hongzhang is getting harder!

Li Hongzhang is indeed a good political player. Although he adopts a tough diplomatic attitude, the British and French in Japan have been very favored by Li Hongzhang. Even though the British government has issued a strong time limit, all Chinese troops and ordinary people must withdraw from Japan before June 1st.
