18 Jan 1871 Jahr - Unification of The German Empire

Beschreibung:

The 18th of January 1871, after a stunning victory against Napoleon III and his Second French Empire, Prussia unifies The German Empire (IIn'd Reich)

This is important to World War II due to a few key reasons, first being obviously the unification of a new extremely powerful state who absolutely defied the balance of power in Europe.

The second main reason is the loss of Alsace - Lorraine for France, absolutely humiliated that they had lost a region who had been french for over a century, structuring French Revanchism and hostility towards The German Empire.
