Telegrams provided an efficient means of transmitting concise messages over great distances and often contained sensitive or urgent information. Imagine that you are writing a paper for your history class and are doing research at the local archives. In one of the folders labeled “Miscellaneous,” you stumble upon a collection of telegrams pertaining to events leading up to the unification of Italy and Germany. Because of the age of the documents, some of the words are illegible. Select the correct answer from each dropdown menu to complete the messages. Then, answer the follow-up questions to further demonstrate your understanding of the establishment of national states in Italy and Germany.
