Answer: What introduced unification was <em>Zollverein</em> (German custom union) which eliminated customs among German states (principalities). Prussia was the most important actor whereas Austria was eliminated from Zollverein because of its highly protectionist attitude (Prince and Austrian kanzler von Metternich who defined Austrian policy till 1848 was against). <em>Zollverein</em> treaties were negotiated already in 1830s. Another factor was increasing importance (military and political) of Prussia that desired unification of Germany (at that time nonexistent). First significant Zollverein led to foundation of North German Confederation (1867) which was able to make economic agreements with its northern neighbours (Sweden and Norway). This was a political and economic context of German industrial revolution.
Explanation: Prussia did not have any significant rival among German states. Austria was already in decadence. When Metternich left Austrian court Austria was increasingly falling behind. Moreover Austria as a multinational state had a great disadvantage of growing nationalism.
Answer:
Anglo-Americans were drawn by inexpensive land and believed annexation of Texas to the United States was likely and would improve the market for the land. Some settlers were fleeing debts and sought refuge in the Mexican colony, where they were safe from American creditors. The American's wanted to settle in Texas for free land and also because they wanted America to expand and take over territories that belonged to Mexico.The people from the southern states wanted to expand westward. The planting of cotton was very profitable using slave labor and the cotton gin. The settlers wanted more land. Starting in Georgia the cotton agriculture had spread to Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. America had no more land to the west but Mexico did.
They were still treated badly and were still not as privileged as whites.
