Leadership
Bismarck was a very strong leader. He exemplified this many times in his career, what with his realistic, unforgiving political moves and tactics.
He gained the trust and belief of his people, however many despised him. He caused many wars and did not always consider the good of those that he was not aligned with. But for Prussia at the time, he was instrumental in their political dominance. Germany would likely not have unified in such a way without Bismarck. His methods of leading his county were at times controversial, as not everyone saw the need for such ruthless and unyielding political agenda. Though his strength and importance as a leader was undeniable.
