A diplomatic dance between world powers: Otto Von Bismarck (1815-98), Germany's Iron Chancellor, meets Li Hung-Chang (1823-1901), the Chinese statesman, in 1896, setting the stage for complex international relations. Flashback to 1871, as Bismarck unifies Germany, and Napoleon III (1808-73) of France sends a telegram to von Bulow, foreshadowing future tensions. Fast forward to the Congress of Berlin in 1878, where European powers gather to redraw the map of Europe, with Bismarck skillfully navigating the intricacies of the diplomatic arena. Amidst it all, Alfonso XII (1857-85) of Spain, known as 'El Rey Alfonso' or 'Between Two Fires,' faces his own political challenges. Otto Von Bismarck, a master of diplomacy, balances the delicate equilibrium between the fires of war and peace, leaving a lasting impact on European history.
