An excerpt:
During the period between 1814 and the late 1850s, both the British Empire and France focused on issues mainly concerning the European Continent and colonialist expansion, neither of which meant anything to America, so before anyone noticed, the United States had become a major player on the world stage with its growing industrial and agricultural might—a situation that infuriated the British Empire and France, so when the United States tore itself apart with the American Civil War that lasted from 1861 to 1865, they massed large armies in Canada and Mexico so they could invade America and divide it up between them—but were stopped from invading when Russia sent its powerful navy war fleets to New York City and San Francisco.
This ill fated invasion plan of America by the British Empire and France caused them take their eyes off of Europe—and left them powerless when King William I appointed Otto von Bismarck as the Minister President of Prussia in 1862—and with the bulk of the British and French armies having been deployed to Canada and Mexico, and it taking time to bring them back to Europe, this is when Bismarck struck with his Second Schleswig War in 1864, that he followed with the Austro-Prussian War in 1866, and he capped off with the Franco-Prussian War that lasted from July-1870 to January-1871—all of which created the nation you now know as Germany.
