Otto von Bismarck
Like no other, Imperial Chancellor Otto von Bismarck shapes politics in the early days of the of the empire. His attitude is conservative, Prussian, Protestant. As a politician of power, he turns against all those he considers "enemies of the Empire". He becomes entangled in a "culture war" with the Catholic Church. He staves off the growing labor movement with the socialist laws. But he also provides pioneering reforms, and thus establishes Germany’s social legislation. In foreign policy, he acts with diplomacy and skill. As an "honest broker" he balances the interests of the various European powers at the Berlin Congress. In 1890, he has to resign. For many Germans, he soon becomes a legend: the "iron chancellor".
