Bismarck, taking advantage OF the
carried out his ideas Of uni
fication, the result being the new Ger
man empire. 1t was Bismarck who
dictated the terms of peace with
France, recovering to Germany AL
sace-Lorraine and an indemnity Of
one billion dollars.
Bismarck, who had been made a
Count In 1866, was now created Prince
and Chancellor Of the German Empire.
The Chancellor's aim now was to Sc
cure for the Empire a long term Of
peace and prosperity. Here again he
showed himself master Of diplomacy.
He succeeded In isolating France and
formed strong alliances between Ger
many, Austria and Italy In the triple
alliance combination that even a
union between France and Russia
would not be able to overcome. He
entered upon a long and bitter con-
fiict with the Vatican, whose power he
believed to be dangerous to the Gov
eminent, but he was finally obliged to
somewhat modify his policy toward the
Church of Rome.
In inaugurating the career Of Ger
many as a colonizing power In 1884,
Bismarck brought himself into brief
conflict with Gladstone, who was then
the English Premier. Bismarck never
forgot to keep France isolated. That
was the main object Of his foreign pol
icy. He also kept Europe In peace
full state by combining the central pow
ers into peace league. This was to
counterfeit any aggressiveness on the
part Of Russia and France, either sing
ly or combined.
| Early in 1890 the Iron Chancellor
retired from public life, owing to DIFF.
ferences of opinion between Emperor
William II and himself. In 1894, how
ever, they became reconciled, and upor
the occasion of Bismarck's eight ETH
birthday, in 1895, the Emperor visited
the famous statesman and cordial,
participated in the celebration Of thu
event.
The German soldiers and officers
fairly worshipped Bismarck, who ncve
severed his connection with the army
He took more. pride in being soldier
than in all the honors and decoration
that were showered upon him by tn
potentates OF the world.
Bismarck very seldom appeared II
public without uniform and sword. HI
was rarely seen in citizens dress. Tn
students saw in him the German rep
resentative, and endeavored to imitat
him.
