In a symbolic gesture at the Palace of Versailles outside Paris, King Wilhelm I was proclaimed German Emperor. This meeting between two influential figures marked a turning point for Germany's future.

The intensity on their faces reflects the weighty decisions they faced during this pivotal time. Wilhelm I's imposing presence is evident as he sits regally while conversing with Bismarck.
