So, we haven’t talked much about Italy and Germany so far in Crash Course Euro, and that’s because prior to the mid-19th century, those two nation-states weren’t really a thing. Today we’ll look at how Italy and Germany pulled it together in the second half of the 1800s. You’ll learn about Guisseppe Garibaldi, Victor Emmanuelle, Otto von Bismarck, Wilhelm I, and a whole heck of a lot about the development of modern politics.

Hi, I’m the consultant for the series. Since there are many comments about this, I’ll just post here and stop replying to everyone. There was indeed a disagreement over the Spanish throne in 1870, which led to the Ems Dispatch, etc. There was also a 1867 dispute over who would rule Luxembourg that almost led to France and Prussia going to war. So by 1870, the relationship was already quite tense. Basically Bismarck had secretly promised France control/dominion over Luxembourg if France stayed out of the Austrian-Prussian war. Then Bismarck backed out of the deal.
6:24 William I Button?
at 6:22 it says that the dates for William the I of Prussia are 1888-1797 lol
John Green, I know mispronunciation is your thing, but the northernmost German state is pronounced Shley-svig Holstein, where the first syllable is like "sleigh" but slurred and the second syllable rhymes with "league". Sorry, I know it's pedantic, but it's where my Opa and Oma are from. Love the series!
