Give analysis of why and how the Bismarck collapsed in the 1890
Answers
Answer:
Once Bismarck had quarreled with the emperor, he had no real support, for he had always fought the parties of the German masses. He tried without success to engineer a strike of Prussian ministers. Finally he was opposed even by the leaders of the army. On March 18, 1890, he was forced to resign.
Explanation:
Answer:
Bismarck’s seemingly impregnable position had a weak spot: the emperor had to regard him as indispensible. The old emperor, William I, remained faithful until his death on March 9, 1888. He never forgot that Bismarck had saved him from “liberalism” in 1862. Frederick III, his son and successor, was bound to Bismarck by memory of the triumphs of 1870. Liberal in phrase, he was at best National Liberal and, like the other National Liberals, would have made his peace with Bismarck in exchange for a few concessions. He was already a dying man when he took the crown, however, and his reign of 99 days ended on June 15, 1888.
