Otto Eduard Leopold von Bismarck's main achievement was the German Empire, which
- unfortunately for him - only lasted twenty years longer than
Otto could hang on himself.
When Otto von Bismarck was
born in 1815, the world looked like this on a map:
1815
Western World
1815
Eastern World
1815
German Confederation
On September 30, 1862, Otto von Bismarck
delivered his
