Explanation

Otto von Bismarck, the first Chancellor of the German Empire, was nicknamed the Man of Blood and Iron. This title comes from a famous speech he gave in 1862 regarding the unification of Germany through military power rather than speeches and resolutions. Hitler and Mussolini were later dictators but are not associated with this specific 19th-century moniker.
