There a lot thread about Grossdeutschland in 1866 but there aren't much discussion about kleindeutschland level German unification in 1866. Is this plausable? Assuming Prussia totally destroyed Austrian north army after Sadowa and marched into Vienna.
As far as I know Bismarck didn't want large Catholic population in Germany but conditions forced him for German Empire IOTL. With chancellorship of Bismarck in 1866, kleindeutschland seems unplausable.
So we need to get rid of him before end of Six Weeks War lets say he is assassinated by an Austrian(causes outrage in Prussia?) unlike unseccesfull attempt IOTL and Austria were defeated worse than OTL, Would Prussia form German Empire and force South German States to join?
