As the Thirty Years War and the Reformation were both coming to an end, Germany needed a new start. Over this
long dreadful period of time for Germany there was a demand for change. In 1794 Germany consisted of more

number of different nationalities in Germany to mostly Germans and Italians. In 1825, industrialization was
beginning to set foot in some of the German states. From 1825 onward industrialization spread throughout the
states of Germany, however, many of the German states remained very poor. After twenty-five years of slow
industrialization, Germany experienced a prolonged “boom” from 1850 to 1873. During this time period, living
standards rose in big cities and in industrialized areas. There was a very large difference in these regions and
agricultural regions away from cities and industrialized factories. The agricultural areas were not as developed as
