There was a lot of German history to choose from, so I chose to look at the fall of the Holy Roman Empire in Germany. I learn the best by looking at a time line of events, so that's is what I've done for this area of time.
1683: The Ottomans are defeated and Hungary becomes a place of German vacationing.
1701: elector Frederick of Brandenburg is named King in Prussia, and from then on makes Prussia into a very centralized state.
1763: Prussia becomes a major world power after the Peace of Hubertsburg. Also, an "enlightened absolutism" is established to quell a rebellion.
1792: Austria and Prussia declare war on France during the French Revolution, but Napoleon beats Austria and takes Vienna.
1799: France goes to war with Prussia again in the War of the Second Coalition.
1805: War again with France called the War of the Third Coalition; Austria loses Bavaria.
August 6, 1806: Holy Roman Empire officially dissolves because the Emperor Francis II resigned.
