......resulting in the 1871 declaration of the Second German Empire.

Or, as I've heard elsewhere, the unification of all the Germanies.

In the early 1970s I knew a girl from Hamburg, Germany whose mother came from Königsberg in East Prussia. She said that Prussians were known as the Italians of the north because of their love for art and music. Interestingly, her husband was from Austria, at the opposite end of the German-speaking world.
