Explanation:  In the late nineteenth century, many industrialized countries forged alliances and agreements that culminated in the year 1914 in World War I. Germany had gone through the process of unification between 1870-1871, making it a strong, industrialized state; German leader Bismarck defeated France in the Franco-Prussian War (1871). With this defeat, France lost to Russia (the state that led the German unification) as regions of Alsace and Lorraine.

it was certainly a debatable decision, mainly because it was based primarily on political - and not on legal or social - views. since the congress at that time was led by members of the republican party, and the territory that the tribes wanted to turn into an exclusively indian state was predominantly democratic, the proposal (as expressed in the constitution) did not succeed, but the constitution itself proved to be of crucial importance in the creation of the state of oklahoma, and, most importantly, it guaranteed the involvement of representatives of the indian tribes in the government of the future joint state.  

as a member of congress, i would have voted to ratify the constitution, or at least to have it tabled. ignoring it was an interested and partial decision.
