About Bismarck 关于俾斯麦
Otto Eduard Leopold von Bismarck was a German-Prussian statesman of the late 19th century, and a dominant figure in world affairs. As Prime Minister of Prussia from 1862-1890, he oversaw the unification of Germany. In 1867 he became Chancellor of the North German Confederation. He designed the German Empire in 1871, becoming its first Chancellor and dominating its affairs until he was removed by Wilhelm II in 1890. His diplomacy of Realpolitik and powerful rule gained him the nickname the "Iron Chancellor".
He used balance-of-power diplomacy to keep Europe peaceful in the 1870s and 1880s. He created a new nation with a progressive social policy, a result that went beyond his initial goals as a practitioner of power politics in Prussia. Bismarck, a devout Lutheran who was loyal to his king, promoted government through a strong, well-trained bureaucracy with a hereditary monarchy at the top.
Bismarck had recognized early in his political career that the opportunities for national unification would exist and he worked successfully to provide a Prussian structure to the nation as a whole. However, his Reich of 1871 deliberately restricted democracy, and the anti-Catholic and anti-Socialist legislation that he introduced unsuccessfully in the 1870s and 1880s left a devastating legacy of distrust and fragmentation in German political culture.
奥托·冯·俾斯麦是德国近代史上一位举足轻重的人物。作为普鲁士德国容克资产阶级的最著名的政治家和外交家，他是"从上至下"统一德国的代表人物。
《大国崛起》是这样评价他的：总体来说，俾斯麦是一位非凡的人物，具有极为强烈的功名心，是一个重视行动，讲究现实，为达目的不择手段，意志坚强，富有感情，并且性情暴烈，干劲十足的人。他的军旅生涯并不成功，大学时光也都被花在酗酒和女人上，他的外交经历也没有为他赢得什么朋友，但他的确拥有那个时代很少有人拥有的才能：他具有估量对手的超凡能力，是一位第一流的政治家；他还有一个赌徒的直觉，知道何时下注，何时离桌。与大多数普鲁士保守主义者不同，他了解德国民族主义的暗潮涌动，并看到了普鲁士或者顺潮流而昌，或者逆潮流而亡的历史命运。
