3.6 Otto von Bismarck - Chief Diplomat - Pre-20th Century

Largely responsible for the unification of Germany, his diplomacy and statecraft was magnificent, both in terms of bringing the independent German states together in one nation and empire and in dealing with international powers. His Iron and Blood speech is still quite famous and he greatly illustrated the practical application of Machiavelli's realist political philosophy or, as it's called in German, realpolitik.
