German unification
Hey there little one! Today, let's talk about German unification.
So, imagine you have a lot of building blocks. Some are big, some are small, and they all have different colors. Now, some of the bigger building blocks want to join together and make one big, strong structure. That's sort of what happened with Germany.
A long time ago, Germany was a bunch of smaller parts, called states. They all had their own leaders and rules, and sometimes they didn't get along. But, a long time later, some of the bigger states, like Prussia and Bavaria, decided they wanted to join together and make one big country.
It took a while for everyone in Germany to agree to put aside their differences and work together, but eventually they did. They even had to fight a war to make it happen. In 1871, all the states joined together to become the country of Germany.
Just like when you build something big with building blocks, it was a lot of hard work and cooperation to make German unification happen. But now, Germany is a strong country with lots of people working together to make it even better.
