It is situated in the natural resource rich (hydrocarbons) Caspian Sea region of the North Caucasus within Russia. Dagestan is the richest republic in terms of hydrocarbon reserves in North Caucasus. Dagestan’s geographical location is very strategic and significant as it lies at the crossroads of many civilizations, viz. Slavic, European, Turkish, Islam, and Persian. The republic is very crucial for the Russian Federation both for ensuring political and economic stability on its southern borders as well as for maintaining its influence over the large swathes of the Caucasus region, the West Asia and Central Asia.

The unification of many German states into the German Empire (1871-1918) followed Prussia’s victories in the wars against Denmark in the year 1864, Austria in the year 1866, and France in 187071. Prussia's aggressive foreign and domestic policies were formulated by Bismarck, who became the first chancellor of united Germany and remained in power till 1890. And by 1900 Germany also emerged as the largest economy of Europe. Therefore, this work addresses the factors behind Germany’s rise to power and thus it seeks to bring out the military, economic and cultural aspects of German Empire with which it rose to great power from 1864 to 1918.
