Otto von Bismarck in 1880
Otto Eduard Leopold, Prince of Bismarck, Duke of Lauenburg (Born 1 April 1815 – Died 30 July 1898), simply known as Otto von Bismarck, was a conservative German statesman who dominated European affairs from the 1860s to his dismissal in 1890. In 1871, after a series of short victorious wars, he unified most of the German states (whilst excluding some, most notably Austria) into a powerful German Empire under Prussian leadership. This created a balance of power that preserved peace in Europe from 1871 until 1914 (See World War I)
