Kleinstaaterei is the best.
A united Germany triggered the other powers too much, and they were just waiting for an opportunity to rip it apart. Poland doesn't exist because the allies have a shit about the Polish, it's because they wanted to break Germany up as much as possible. Same reason why the Danes hold Schleswig-Holstein, the French hold Alsace-Lorraine, the Czechs have a country, and Italy holds South Tyrol. And even then Germany is still the most powerful country in Europe by far.

This pretty much family. The 16th-19th centuries saw the uniting of states and peoples across Europe. Germany was a whale among minnows. Okay, maybe that's an exaggeration but you get point. Pic unrelated.

More like Germany was the only thing stopping Russia from dominating the continent, but then it got blamed for everything anyway.

For a couple of hundred years the French dominated Europe. Russia could never get it's shit together.
