So members more well versed in German history than I probably know that Ferdinand Cohen-Blind attempted to assassinate Otto von Bismarck on May 7th 1866. He managed to get five shots off only grazing the Iron Chancellor before being apprehended by passing soldiers.
What if he manages to kill Bismarck? Who takes over as Prime Minister?
Of course dozens of questions spiral out from there but I leave that up for further discussion
