Bismarck a proud leader bred by volkism ideology, undertook the reunification of the german populations under one banner, Germany, and was eagering to take Alsace-Lorraine from France, as they were also german speaking too. So his government forged the EMS telegram, it was the provocation. Contrary to Hitler, he had no ambition to remain in France, just to gain our 2 eastern provinces. Also during the Paris siege he made sure that the Parisians got some food.
