Another milestone: many congratulations to Jan Markert (Universität Trier) for the publication of his monumental study of Wilhelm I (De Gruyter History ➡️ dgb-history.bsky.social), which forever shatters the idea that Bismarck orchestrated German unification. Two monographs out, one more to go - my own!
