how was great britain able to avoid revolution during the 1800s?
it restricted the power of parliament and increased the monarchs power.
it enacted reforms that gave most of its citizens the right to vote.
it took away most of the civil liberties its citizens had enjoyed for decades.
it changed from a constitutional monarchy to a direct democracy.

Explanation:

• First question: Otto von Bismarck used "blood and iron" (warfare) to unify Germany. He started wars with Denmark (1864), Austria (1866), and France (1870 - 1871). These wars helped Prussia gain control over smaller German states. Invading Russian and Chinese territory is not relevant to his goal of unifying Germany. Declaring Napoleon III king of a united Germany is incorrect as Bismarck was a Prussian leader working against French influence. Outlawing the Catholic Church (Kulturkampf) was a later internal policy in Germany, not a means to draw states to Prussia's side.
• Second question: In the 1800s, Britain enacted reforms like the Reform Acts (e.g., 1832, 1867, 1884). These acts gradually expanded the franchise. Restricting Parliament's power and increasing the monarch's power would go against the trend of parliamentary sovereignty in Britain. Taking away civil liberties would likely incite unrest, not prevent revolution. Britain has never been a direct democracy; it is a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system.

Answer:

• First question: started a war with France, Austria, and Denmark
• Second question: It enacted reforms that gave most of its citizens the right to vote.
