Poster Title Abstract Otto von Bismarck, often known as the “Iron Chancellor,” emerged as one of the most influential political figures of the nineteenth century. Rising to the position of Chancellor of Prussia, he played a decisive role in the unification of Germany and the reshaping of the European balance of power. Through a calculated combination of warfare, diplomacy, and strategic political maneuvering, Bismarck transformed a fragmented collection of independent German states into a unified nation that quickly emerged as a dominant continental power. This paper examines the leadership qualities and decision-making approaches that characterized Bismarck’s tenure as Chancellor of Prussia and later as Chancellor of the German Empire. In addition, it explores his personal and political evolution, tracing his development from an unpromising and unconventional youth to one of the most consequential statesmen of the nineteenth century, and assesses how his leadership style contributed to both Germany’s rise and its long-term political trajectory.
