Was he right Otto Von Bismarck?

Otto Von Bismarck, the German statesman, was often considered "right" in his pragmatic approach to politics and diplomacy, particularly in unifying Germany through strategic alliances and wars. His realpolitik emphasized practicality over ideology, allowing for the establishment of a powerful German Empire. However, his policies also laid the groundwork for future conflicts in Europe, suggesting that while his methods were effective in the short term, they had long-term consequences that were not entirely favorable. Thus, whether he was "right" can depend on the perspective taken—effective in the moment but potentially detrimental in the long run.
