  Kleindeutsche Lösung - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The German parliament which was elected after the early successes of the revolution of 1848 was split between the two options, with the democratic left favouring a Republican Großdeutschland, where as the liberal centre favoured a Kleindeutschland with a constitutional monarchy.
After the Austro-Prussian Dualism had been forcefully decided in favor of Prussia by the Austro-Prussian War in 1866, Kleindeutschland was realized in 1871 after the Franco-Prussian War.
The "small solution" was partially also chosen in order to prevent the Austrian and fellow Catholics in the south and west from being a predominant force in a Prussian Germany, as was seen in Bismarck's eyes.

Proportionate to the city's population, the tragedy was actually of greater magnitude than the attack on the World Trade Center.
Almost all the victims on the General Slocum came from one tightly knit ethnic neighborhood, Kleindeutschland; those who died at the World Trade Center hailed from all over the region, indeed from all over the world.
Although a survivors' association carried on for several decades, its numbers gradually dwindled until, by the late 1970s, the only monument to the victims in Manhattan, a small obelisk in Tompkins Square Park, was filthy with neglect and almost indecipherable....
