Yes, C is correct. Otto von Bismarck helped bring about German unification by achieving political compromises with the Prussian legislature.
To arrive at this answer, you can break down the options and analyze them one by one:
A) "He convinced the Austrian emperor to form a pan-German military alliance."
This option is incorrect because it suggests that Bismarck convinced the Austrian emperor to form an alliance, but in reality, Bismarck sought to weaken Austrian influence in Germany rather than form an alliance with them.
B) "He became a strong influence on the king and encouraged the buildup of the military."
While it is true that Bismarck became a strong influence on the king, this option does not specifically address how he helped bring about German unification. Therefore, it is not the most correct answer.
C) "As minister president, he achieved political compromises with the Prussian legislature."
This option is correct because it accurately reflects Bismarck's role as the minister president of Prussia, where he effectively worked with the Prussian legislature to achieve political compromises. These compromises helped strengthen Prussia's position and laid the groundwork for German unification.
D) "He created the position of kaiser, serving as the first one in the German Empire."
While it is true that Bismarck served as the first chancellor of the German Empire, he did not create the position of the kaiser. The position of kaiser was established by the German Constitution after the unification had already taken place.
Therefore, option C is the most accurate choice as it highlights Bismarck's role in achieving political compromises with the Prussian legislature as a means of bringing about German unification.
I disagree.
