Because a Corse leading a French Army dissolved the Holy Roman Empire and made itself a more organized buffer client state while replacing feudal law with his own code that actually was so revolutionary for the times it ended changing the proper legislation within states and consolidated the nation identity on nation-states that were born after the Peace of Wesphalia, all of this reality changed through the formation of the German Confederation that actually worked as the Holy Roman Empire but simpler and it made relations within each state easier. However, the discrepances between Prussia and Austria provoked an schism of unity within the confederation caused precisely by a situation of feudal origin in the region of Holstein and the rights of Denmark over the county. It divided the confederation within Austrian alligned countries and the North German Confederation that pressed for the issue until a war triggered. Prussia replaced Austria as the German hegemony, something that arguebly already happened since in 1848 the revolutionaries tried to give the King of Prussia the throne of a constitutional German monarchy he rejected because it was too liberal (which explains how the German nationalist already thought as Prussia as the one that should and could unify the region). After that, the North German Confederation evolved to German Empire with the war against Francia leaded by Prussia after a diplomatic disaster caused by Bismarck and the seize of the Bavarian throne (which was facilitated by the fact that the king was crazy). German Empire however was refered as the Deutches Kaiserreich which means ‘The Empire of the Germans’, the emperor was not the emperor of Germany as a nation but of Germany as the people which was a technicism necesary because German political tradition was very decentralized and the administration of the new country was still confederated. There were kings, counts and dukes that still had control over their territory and acted as governators, but so they were republics and each one had representation on a Reichstag that was a parliament not-at-all democratic but that held some powers. Even if Hitler abolished such administration boundaries, after the war and the reality of the two Germanies and later the unifiction, Germany is today a country very decentralized that even today drags some elements that connect with the Holy Roman Empire history like would be the Free Cities. It’s a bit of a simplification but hope it helps.

A mixture of Prussian Bayonets and Prussian Economics. Many states wanted a unified Germany for a long time, it was just about doing it the right way. Prussia had been undermining Austrian influence by creating alternate economic systems to the HRE, Confederations etc for quite a while, a large number of German states were highly integrated with Prussia and each other by the time the 1866 conflict made the path inevitable. Then 1970 war with France made it concrete. A masterclass in 19th century strategy, diplomacy and economics.

Napoleon invaded conquering all this territory and disbanded the hre and forced many of these city states into bigger more centralized territories. After he was kick out of Europe most of these changes were kept.
Afterwards there were 2 big powers in Germany, that being Prussia and Austria. Austria was the historical leader of the German region but they were focusing their efforts into the Balkins. Prussia on the other hand was undermining Austria’s control of Germany whilst also growing their own power in the region. This eventually came to head when Austria and Prussia went to war in the brothers war. Prussia was victorious and cemented it’s control over the region.
Later when france lead by Napoleon the 3rd attempted to invade Prussia. Prussia wiped the floor with them, The other minor German states fearing that they could also be invaded by outside powers and seeing the strength of Prussia joined with them creating the empire of Germany.

The truly crazy thing about this is that, as anyone who has played CK2 will know, the tendency for feudal history was amalgamation under a single dynasty in anyone area followed by absorption
The fact that the greater states like Bavaria had failed to slowly eat up the smaller states over the centuries through marriage, warfare, or even purchase before Prussia ultimately did m is kinda wild. It’s not like you even had to conquer the lands, counts never saw safety under dukes, nor dukes under kings.
Im sure there was a balance of power in play but BOP has basically failed to prevent war in every other context
