My opinion is Austro-Prussian war because it led Austria to compete for their place of a great power and making it depend on Germany which kinda resulted in world war 1

Franco-Prussian was what finally shoved Bavaria to camp Preußen, and also gave birth to Revanchism. That's where my vote is

Franco-Preussen.
It cemented Prussia and later Germany's place in Europe, and fostered french hate and revenge in WWI.

This is tough.
Technologically: Austro-Prussian. It showed how useful railroads and telegrams could be and that muzzle-loaders were now obsolete to the new Breech-loading rifles.
Politically: Tough...Austro-Prussian resulted in Venetia being ceded to Italy, Prussia becoming the dominant power in Germany, and the unification of the North German states into the North German Federation. The Franco-Prussian resulted in the Italians gaining control of Rome, and Germany being unified in Versailles. As well as the cession of Alsace-Lorraine to Germany. The war made Germany the dominant power in Europe. All together...Franco-Prussian.
Historically: Franco-Prussian was a direct reason for WWI, but the Austro-Prussian was a direct reason for the Franco-Prussian. This is a weird situation...Do you choose the event that directly led to WWI, or the event that led to the event which directly caused WWI? I say just the event, so Franco-Prussian.
All together, Franco-Prussian.
