| biography:
| German politician, born in Rotenburg an der Fulda, C Germany. He supported the Kleindeutsch solution to the ‘German question’, became prime minister of Bavaria and foreign minister (1866), but resigned (1870) after an abortive attempt to unite European powers against the definition of papal infallibility. He later served as German ambassador to Paris (1874), Statthalter of Alsace-Lorraine, and German chancellor and Prussian prime minister (1894), in which capacity he supported closer links with Russia and German colonial expansion. He retired in 1900 and wrote his memoirs entitled Denkwürdigkeiten. |
