Detailed Solution

In a ceremony held at Versailles in January 1871, Kaiser William I was proclaimed the German Emperor.
He was the first head of state of United Germany. Prussia completed the unification of Germany after the three long battles with the Danes in 1864, followed by Austria in 1866 and the final battle with France in 1870-1871. He hesitated to accept the constitutional title of "Deutscher Kaiser", meaning the Emperor of Germany, as it would overshadow his kingdom, Prussia.
