 Wilhelm Friedrich
Ludwig (1797-1888) ascended to the Prussian throne in 1861. Showing
little political interest, his primary goal upon gaining power
was to reorganize and strengthen the Prussian army. He was met
with opposition from the Prussian legislature, and his desire
to remain politically neutral led to his appointment of Otto
von Bismark as his prime minister in 1862. Bismark proved to
be far more historically significant than Wilhelm I, engaging
Prussia in a number of conflicts aimed at attaining the goal
of a unified German Empire. Perhaps the most notable of these
conflicts was the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71. Upon the defeat
and surrender of Napoleon III at Sedan, Wilhelm I was proclaimed
the first emperor of Germany (Kaiser) in 1871. These events,
and the conflicts that ensued between Germany and France, eventually
escalated into World War I. |
