The German economy underwent major changes after uniting in 1871 thanks to alliances with neighboring countries, making Germany acquire the status of a leading European power. The industry was also a power thanks to its natural resources such as iron and coal.

Another reason for which Germany had remarkable economic changes was the policy of imperialism that allowed it to acquire colonies in Africa and the Pacific.
