With Prussia the clear winner in the rivalry with Austria I think the German unification will happen anyway, but without the stunning victory over France in 1870-71 the Prussian role might not be as dominant as in OTL and I could even imagine some (Catholic) parts of the OTL German Empire being left out or with wide ranged "special rights" - I of course primarily think of Bavaria.
France will of course have to anxiously watch this new and potent rival, and will have a number of diplomatic opportunities - primarily Austria and Russia. UK will the part being the least threat to its Empire - ie the one with the smallest navy and most modest colonial ambitions. A French-Russian alliance with significant naval strength and overseas ambitions has no chance of British support - unless of course the Germans are stupid enough and make themselves an even bigger threat - just like in OTL...
