So Germany looked for Prussia leadership after they failed the attempt to unify in the Frankfurt Assembly in 1848 and 1849

The Prussian king had firm control over the government and the army. Prussia was also known for its militarism, or reliance on military strength.

Austria now had no alliances in Europe, this made it easy for Germany and Italy to unify.

Austria was still the dominant power on the Peninsula. After the failure of the revolution of 1848, people began to look for support in the North.
