Count Otto Eduard Leopold von Bismarck (1815-1898) unified Germany when he was the Prime Minister of Prussia (1868-1890). The proclamation took place at Versailles (1871), the year he received the title of prince. He became the first Chancellor (1871-1890) of the second Empire (Deutsches Reich), which ended in 1918. The Holy Roman Empire (843-1806) is considered the first empire.
