Bismarck (1 865438+April105-1July 30, 898), the first prime minister of the German Empire, was called "bloody prime minister". Bismarck was the most outstanding politician in Germany in the19th century. During his tenure as Prime Minister of Prussia, he unified Germany through a series of bloody wars and became the first Prime Minister of the German Empire.
During his tenure as Prime Minister of Prussia, Bismarck launched three foreign wars, making Germany the largest country in Europe and dominating Europe, and launched a war against Denmark at the beginning of 1864. The Danish Principality of Schleswig-Hollstein (mostly German residents) was incorporated into Germany.

At this point, the obstacles to the reunification of Yugoslavia have been removed, Bismarck marched straight into Paris, announced the reunification of Germany at Versailles, and established the German Empire. Bismarck also served as the Prime Minister of the German Empire.
Prime minister of iron blood
After Bismarck unified Germany, he carried out the policy of serving the interests of the big bourgeoisie and aristocratic landlords, which promoted the development of German economy. He not only suppressed the Paris Commune, but also stepped up the suppression of the German workers' movement. He organized military groups abroad and tried his best to consolidate Germany's hegemonic position in the European continent. At the same time, they plundered colonies in Africa, Asia and the Pacific and competed with Britain for world hegemony.

1In March, 864, he served as Commander-in-Chief of the Union Army and won the rank of Lieutenant General. He had political courage and realized the importance of abolishing slavery and arming blacks. His operational command is resolute and decisive. He led the union army to defeat the Confederate army and ended the American Civil War. He made outstanding contributions to the victory of the civil war.
1On March 4th, 869, Grant, who was all-powerful on the battlefield, became the18th president of the United States. Grant is a military genius, but he is not very good at governing the country. Grant's mediocre achievements are in sharp contrast with his brilliant achievements.
The Union Army during the Civil War
However, during his administration, successive scandals have greatly damaged Grant's reputation, because he also has unshirkable responsibilities in these aspects. He knew nothing about the economy, which also caused great dissatisfaction among voters. Later, he compromised with the slave owners in the south, which led to the dissatisfaction and compromise of officials and finally caused the dissatisfaction of voters. Finally, he had to resign and step down in a panic.
Li Hongzhang and Grant
Of course, Granger's tenure was not without achievements. He advocated pardoning the "rebels", rebuilding the suffering South and bringing a certain degree of political democracy to the southern states. He focused on the domestic affairs of the United States, which was during the industrial revolution, and the manufacturing and oil industries in the United States had made remarkable progress. Another achievement is the establishment of a black and white public school in the south.
Robert Lee of the Union Army surrendered to Grant.
Although Grant's political achievements were mediocre, his contribution to the Civil War was obvious to all. To some extent, it can be said that he ended the American Civil War. In the history of19th century, he also left a glorious page, became an epoch-making figure in America, and was admired by millions of Americans.
1. Li Hongzhang, an important official in the late Qing Dynasty
(1823- 190 1 year), a famous minister in the late Qing Dynasty, the main leader of the Westernization Movement, was born in Hefei, Anhui Province, and was also called Li and. He was the founder and commander-in-chief of Huai Army, one of the main advocates of Westernization Movement, and an important official in the late Qing Dynasty. He is called "Bismarck of the East" by westerners.
Li Hongzhang and Bismarck
Li Hongzhang worshipped Zeng Guopan in his early years. When Zeng Guofan pacified the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, Li Hongzhang initially served as Zeng Guofan's staff. In the first year of Tongzhi (1862), Li Hongzhang was ordered by Zeng Guopan to form the Huai Yong 5th Battalion, and became an army of his own, called Huai Army. He participated in the movement to suppress the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and made outstanding achievements.
Li Hongzhang
In the fifth year of Tongzhi (1866), because Pan Jiu of Zeng State could not suppress the rebellion of the Nian army for a long time, the Qing court ordered Li Hongzhang to take over the affairs of suppressing the twisting, and Li Hongzhang led 70,000 people to Xuzhou to suppress the twisting. Li Hongzhang adopted the strategic policy of "static braking" and successfully eliminated the rebellion of Nian Army. Later, he successfully transferred the religious plan of Tianjin. Later, Li Hongzhang was responsible for supervising the Westernization Movement and created China's "Forty-six firsts".
Li Hongzhang and the Tsar
He served as governor of Zhili and minister of Beiyang trade, awarded Wenhua Hall a bachelor's degree, and served as governor of Zhili and minister of Beiyang for 25 years, and participated in a series of important measures taken by the Qing government in internal affairs, diplomacy, economy and military affairs. After his death, the Qing Dynasty built 10 temples in his hometown and meritorious province, and local officials regularly offered sacrifices to Shi Jing Temple. In the Qing Dynasty, Han officials were the only ones who built temples in Shi Jing.
Li Hongzhang
Japanese Prime Minister Hirofumi Ito regarded him as "the only person in the Qing Empire who was able to compete with the world powers", while Empress Dowager Cixi regarded him as "the man who recreated Huang Zhi" and wrote The Complete Works of Li Wenzhong. Because of Li Hongzhang's existence, the persecution of China by foreign powers has also decreased. Li Hongzhang can be rated as the first of the "19 th century three great men", which shows that he is extraordinary.
Although Li Hongzhang has a good international reputation, his reputation in China is far more than his good reputation, because he has signed too many humiliating treaties with foreign powers, and some people even call him a "traitor". He's just the one who took the fall for the Qing court. The most to blame is not him, but the poor, weak, decadent and backward Qing Dynasty.
