The unification of Germany was inevitable regardless of Bismarck’s role

Bismarck was a man that helped Prussia became strong, dominate the other German states and also helped in the unification of Germany. Put I don’t think that he is the reason that Germany united so I agree that the unification of Germany was inevitable regardless of Bismarck’s role. The main reasons that they united were because they were in an economic union, they all have a common language Prussia was expanding and taking other states, some joined for protection and they also went to war with other countries.

The Zollverein was an economic union that almost all the German states joined. The Zollverein will have made formed a sort of trust between the states and eventually became a political union. Also they have a common language

Prussia was a expanding and conquering other states. So some states may have joined for protection from Prussia or other enemies. Also some states joined because Prussia went to war with other countries such as Austria and France and she was victorious.

Even without Bismarck Germany would have united they may not have united at that exact time without Bismarck they were going to unite later on. Bismarck help Germany unite and he is not the only reason why they united and Germany would have united anyway.
