What aspects of recent history made the french and germans accept this idea

Napoleon's speech had a strong appeal to the people because it offered them an opportunity to find steadiness and prosperity in their country again, through him. Bismark and Napoleon both offered themselves as leaders who will take care of their country and their people. Their speeches differ because Bismark is promising to help protect what they already have, where as Napoleon is promising to gain back what his people need. I believe that their similarities are more important, due to the fact that both of them are strong leaders offering their country something that is needed. These selections teach us that Realpolitik is based on practicality and realistic ideas, not based on morality or ethics.

hope it helps!
