The German Empire was proclaimed at Versailles in January 1871, after Prussia under Otto von Bismarck defeated France and united the German states except Austria. It quickly became Europe's leading industrial and scientific power and gained colonies in Africa and the Pacific, where a rising in German South West Africa was crushed in the genocide of the Herero and Nama.
