Answer

Brief Explanations:

The Franco - Prussian War (1870 - 1871) was the immediate event. Prussia's victory over France in this war united the German states under Prussian leadership. The other wars (Seven Weeks' War/Austro - Prussian War (1866), Schleswig - Holstein War (1848 - 1851, 1864)) were important in Prussian expansion and German unification processes but not the immediate trigger. The Franco - Prussian War led to the proclamation of the German Empire in 1871.

Answer:

The Franco - Prussian War
