I just checked with Wikipedia: the unification of Germany happened in 1871. Before then there were sometimes even ferocious wars among the states in Germany, including the Thirty Years War.
That is one reason why people had high hopes for Europe: today it seems unthinkable to have a war between states of Germany (they don't have their own military either). Perhaps one day it could be as unthinkable to have war between European states.
