The German population from 1800-1900 grew from ~21m to 56m which is a 2.66 fold increase. France's population at 1800 was ~30m and if it grew at the same rate as the Germans it would've reached 80m at 1900 (Making it more populated than the USA). This got me thinking if the Germans didn't out grow the French would the French have allowed them to unite.
