Otto Eduard Leopold, Prince of Bismarck, Duke of Lauenburg (1815 – 1898), known as Otto von Bismarck, was a conservative Prussian statesman responsible for engineering a series of wars that united the German states into a German Empire.
Biography[]
In 1870, Otto von Bismarck and other advisors convinced Kaiser Wilhelm I to instigate France into war against them. In the summer of 1870, their tactics worked as the Second French Empire declared war against Prussia.[1] Sometime during his retirement in 1895, von Bismarck comissioned the artist Franz von Lenbach to paint his portrait.[2]
Legacy[]
In 2012, von Bismarck was one of many historical people included in the Glyph puzzles the late Assassin Clay Kaczmarek had left behind in the Animus as messages for his successor Desmond Miles to decipher. Desmond later did in September of that year.[3] Desmond solved this puzzle, which was part of a set titled "Instruments of Power" where von Bismarck was excluded from the list of historical individuals revealed by Clay to have wielded a Sword of Eden.[2]
