WI: No Bismarck/Bismarck fails to unite Germany?

As the tin says. Suppose that Otto von Bismarck is either not born, doesn't enter the service of the Hohenzollerns, or still gets his OTL post yet fails in his machinations to ensure Prussian supremacy over Germany.

Where does Europe go and what are the ramifications? For one, I can see the Second Empire hanging on for longer, for starter.

I would say would unify anyway was southern germany bankrupt themselves hella quick and hannover was did wanting to unify the mess among states, zollverein was working, but we could see something like a 'federal kingdom' with a table rather an emperor,that depends if austrias did want a grossdeutchland losung but i doubt it...they don't want to lose more power they loss, even without A-P war.


Nah Nappy III burned all his political goodwills one mistep at the time, his crown was over next crisis ahead, in fact that would make republicanism stronger as they husted nappy el pequeno peacefully
