>>12788264>And what does it change?you insinuated that Bismarck was a prime example of German nationalism when that wasn't his prime concern, his prime concern was expanding the power of his state. That's why he excluded Austria from Germany which was explicitly called as part of Germany in the German national song and had been a core part of Germany for centuries.
>'democratic nationalism' while theoretically possible, just couldn't hold on in Germany for a cultural reason apparently1848/49 failed bc the German states and aristrocracy was too powerful, bc the democrats in Frankfurt were too divided and bc foreign great powers had no interest in a united Germany
Weimar Republic fell bc of the felt humiliation of WW1, economic crisis and powerful anti-democratic interest groups
but those explanations are probably too complicated for you, it's just bc Germans are inherently evil xD
anyway I have uni in a minute, already wasting way too much time arguing with faggots like you on here, go fuck yourself and keep seething
