The German question was a debate in the 19th century over the best way to achieve the Unification of Germany. From 1815–1871, 37 independent German-speaking states existed. The Großdeutsche Lösung ("Greater German solution") favored unifying all German-speaking peoples under one state, and was favored by the Austrian Empire and its supporters. The Kleindeutsche Lösung ("Lesser German solution") sought only to unify the northern German states and did not include Austria; this proposal was favored by the Kingdom of Prussia. The solutions are also referred to by the names of the states they proposed to create, Kleindeutschland and Großdeutschland ("Lesser Germany" and "Greater Germany"). Both movements were part of a growing German nationalism. The movements also drew upon similar contemporary efforts to create a unified nation-state of people who shared a common language, such as the unification of Italy by the House of Savoy and the Serbian revolution for independence.
