| “Germany is not looking to Prussia's liberalism, but to its power; Bavaria, Württemberg, Baden may indulge liberalism, and yet no one will assign them Prussia's role; Prussia has to coalesce and concentrate its power for the opportune moment, which has already been missed several times; Prussia's borders according to the Vienna Treaties [of 1814-15] are not favorable for a healthy, vital state; it is not by speeches and majority resolutions that the great questions of the time are decided – that was the big mistake of 1848 and 1849 – but by iron and blood.”

This is probably not true of any suffragist, and it is most certainly not true of me… …for some years I was rather deeply immersed in my domestic affairs. I was never so absorbed with home and children, however, that I lost interest in community affairs. Dr. Pankhurst did not desire that I should turn myself into a household machine. It was his firm belief that society as well as the family stands in need of women’s services. So while my children were still in their cradles I was serving on the executive committee of the Women’s Suffrage Society, and also on the executive board of the committee which was working to secure the Marriage Women’s Property Act.” Emmeline Pankhurst, British political activist, from her autobiography My Own Story, 1914 The passage above is most clearly an example of which of the following developments in 19th century Britain?

Austria is supposed to be mobilizing against Prussia! Any child knows that the opposite is the case.... We…must come down on the side of the unjust cause, because we cannot tolerate the possibility of Austria gaining the upper hand in Germany. [August 19] …[W]hat enviable luck…to have seen this turning-point in German history.... For years I have envied the Italians that they succeeded.... I have wished for a German Cavour and Garibaldi as Germany’s political messiah…. I bow before the genius of Bismarck, who has achieved a masterpiece of political planning and action...how precisely he knew and used all the ways and means—his king, Napoleon, his army, the administration, Austria and her forces.” Rudolf von Ihering, a liberal German politician, two Letters on Otto von Bismarck’s policy of war with Austria, 1866 What made Bismarck’s actions most similar to Cavour’s, thus providing evidence to support the comparison made by von Ihering?

[W]e arrived at Massa and Carrara, and there we discovered what we had been…seeking.
