37william i became king of prussia in 1861. the next year he appointed this man, who was a conservative junker politician, to head the prussian cabinet. he built the prussian army into a powerful war machine. he opposed democracy and the idea of a parliament. his vision of a state that maintained authority by rewarding the obedient left little room at first for compromise or reform. he had great contempt for idealists, regarding them as mere talkers, not people of action. he also believed strongly in prussian destiny to lead the german people to unification. realizing that unification would come one way or another, his goal was to ensure prussian dominance of the future german state. he once said that prussian policy could be carried out "not by speeches and majority decisions... but by iron and blood. he and william i wanted to strengthen central authority and the prussian military, but they faced a challenge from the prussian parliament. when the parliament refused to approve money for a military expansion program, he simply collected the taxes without parliamentary authorization. he claimed that the government had to keep functioning even without agreement. in so doing, he ignored the constitution and the outrage of the liberals. as protests grew, he hoped that successful foreign policy would calm an increasingly hostile people. to increase the power and size of prussia, he had to overcome 2 major obstacles. 1) prussia had to drive austria from its position of leadership in the german confederation. 2) prussia had to overcome austria's influence over the southern german states, which opposed prussian leadership. he accomplished these objectives in 3 wars-the danish war, the seven weeks' war, and the franco-prussian war.1 set
