After the peace treaty with France was signed, there was no longer any external interference in the unification of Germany.
However, turning the Kingdom of Prussia into the German Empire was not easy, as many states, including Bavaria, were concerned about their independence after Germany's unification.
The new empire was destined not to be as loose as the Holy Roman Empire. If Bavaria lost its independence due to Germany's unification, it would be difficult for King Ludwig II of Bavaria to accept.
After all, a Bavarian king without any power and a Bavarian king who currently holds real power may have the same title, but their influence in the entire German region is vastly different.
At this time, Prussia was not peaceful internally either.
Many nobles, including King William I of Prussia,
were not particularly enthusiastic about the establishment of the new empire.
