Bismarck also no longer was prepared to accept that Prussia, as a conservative power, should seek to co-operate with other conservative powers - he now held that Prussia at all times should look out for her own interests without particular regard to the conservative, or other, nature of states with which she was interacting.
Bismarck remained opposed to such acceptance and made a strident case against attendance even to the point of threatening his own resignation at this time where King William I and the Prussian parliament were still in disagreement over army reforms.

This myth is important because Germany was one of the models America looked to in designing its own Social Security plan; and the myth is that America adopted age 65 as the age for retirement benefits because this was the age adopted by Germany when they created their program.
In fact, Germany initially set age 70 as the retirement age (and Bismarck himself was 74 at the time) and it was not until 27 years later (in 1916) that the age was lowered to 65.

 Drifting Away From the ‘Cult of Bismarck’: The Historiography of Bismarck as a Diplomatist by Ian M. Livie
The Historiography of Prince Otto Von Bismarck’s diplomatic career is one which leads slowly away from the idealized portraits of Bismarck as diplomatist forged after World War I through a protracted debate over the specific issues of policy.
Those who maintain that he (Bismarck) often disregarded public opinion fail to see that, whereas between 1862 and 1866 his political career depended on being on bad terms with the liberals, now their support was essential for his political success.
While it is tempting to see the historiography of Bismarck’s diplomatic career as merely an enduring debate between his advocates and his detractors, I have endeavored to show that the issues surrounding the topic of historical scholarship are not as simple as a mere ideological split.

We assume the imperial title, conscious of the duty of protecting, with German loyalty, the rights of the Empire and of its members, of keeping the peace, and of protecting the independence of Germany, which depends in its turn upon the united strength of the people.

When a Great Depression engulfed Europe in the mid-1870s, German Prince Otto Furst von Bismarck‑Schonhausen, the archconservative known as the “Iron Chancellor,” promoted old-age insurance and socialized medicine program to thwart his enemies’ more radical alternatives.
Radical reform was again in the air, spurred not only by shrinking incomes and mounting unemployment at home, but also by the example of a “workers paradise” under construction in Russia.
As with Bismarck, the programs introduced by FDR expanded greatly with time, first enrolling more and more people, and then increasing benefits through upward biased cost-of-living and benefit-definition formulas, and finally steadily broadening benefits to include disability, health and income security for all ages.

Prince Otto, son of the late Prince Herbert Bismarck, onetime Secretary of State of Prussia, is 30 years old.
Unlike his famed grandsire, who (according to Emil Ludwig, famed Teuton biographer) until he was well past 30 was considered a "Taugenichts" (good-for-nothing), annoying his neighbors with his scandalous affairs with women, Prince Otto, if intellectually inferior, is a mild-mannered, well-behaved citizen of the Republic.
