i've been learning a bit about the unification of germany in 1871, and I'm kind of wondering, would it have haapened without Bismark? By all acounts he was the one who made it happen, so couls it have happened, by say 1871, with out his exsitance? say, he died at birth and their was no one to "take his place".

What I'm really asking is, how important was Bismark to Greman Unification
anmd how could Germany have been unified without him, by at least 1871?

or, is being unified by 1871 even possible?
