Austria–Prussia rivalry

Austria and Prussia were the most powerful principalities in the Holy Roman Empire by the 18th and 19th centuries and had engaged in a struggle for supremacy in Central Europe. Known in German as Deutscher Dualismus (literally German dualism), the rivalry was characterized by major territorial conflicts, economic, cultural and political contention for sovereign leadership among the German-speaking peoples, an issue known as the German question in the 19th century.
