- The failure of liberal institutions to achieve German unification after the revolu-
tion of 1848 was a major factor inclining Germans to embrace unification under distinctly
illiberal Prussia twenty-three years later. Thus 1848 can be counted as the first failure
of democracy in Germany. Either 1914 or 1933 can be counted as the second failure of
German democracy. Only after 1945, on its third attempt, did Germany establish a suc-
cessful and stable democracy. - This follows Odd Arne Westad, Restless Empire: China and the World Since 1750,
