between March and June 1888, during the <a href="/wiki/Year_of_the_Three_Emperors" title="Year of the Three Emperors">Year of the Three Emperors</a>. Known informally as "Fritz", he was the only son of Emperor <a href="/wiki/Wilhelm_I" class="mw-redirect" title="Wilhelm I">Wilhelm I</a> and was raised in his family's tradition of military service. Following the <a href="/wiki/Unification_of_Germany" title="Unification of Germany">unification of Germany</a> in 1871 his father, then King of Prussia, became German Emperor. Upon Wilhelm's death at the age of ninety on 9 March 1888, the thrones passed to Frederick, who had been German Crown Prince for seventeen years and Crown Prince of Prussia for twenty-seven years. Frederick was suffering from <a href="/wiki/Cancer_of_the_larynx" class="mw-redirect" title="Cancer of the larynx">cancer of the larynx</a> when he died, aged fifty-six, following unsuccessful medical treatments for his condition. </p><p>Frederick married <a href="/wiki/Victoria,_Princess_Royal" title="Victoria, Princess Royal">Victoria, Princess Royal</a>, oldest child of <a href="/wiki/Queen_Victoria_of_the_United_Kingdom" class="mw-redirect" title="Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom">Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom</a>. The couple were well-matched; their shared <a href="/wiki/Liberalism_in_Germany" title="Liberalism in Germany">liberal</a> ideology led them to support progressive and democratic reform. Despite his family's <a href="/wiki/Conservatism_in_Germany" title="Conservatism in Germany">conservative</a> and militaristic background, Frederick had developed liberal tendencies as a result of his ties with Britain and his studies at the <a href="/wiki/University_of_Bonn" title="University of Bonn">University of Bonn</a>. As <a href="/wiki/Crown_prince" title="Crown prince">crown prince</a>, he often opposed the conservative Chancellor <a href="/wiki/Otto_von_Bismarck" title="Otto von Bismarck">Otto von Bismarck</a>, particularly in speaking out against Bismarck's policy of uniting Germany through force, and in urging that the power of the executive be curbed to the benefit of the <a href="/wiki/Reichstag_(German_Empire)" title="Reichstag (German Empire)">Reichstag</a>. Liberals in both Germany and Great Britain hoped that as emperor, Frederick would move to institute democratic reforms in the <a href="/wiki/German_Empire" title="German Empire">German Empire</a>. </p><p>Frederick and Victoria were great admirers of <a href="/wiki/Albert,_Prince_Consort" class="mw-redirect" title="Albert, Prince Consort">Prince Albert</a>, Queen Victoria's husband. They planned to rule as <a href="/wiki/Coregency" title="Coregency">joint monarchs</a>, as had Princess Victoria's parents, and to reform what they saw as flaws in the government. Fredrick planned to institute <a href="/wiki/Responsible_government" title="Responsible government">responsible government</a>, transforming the Empire into a liberal <a href="/wiki/Constitutional_monarchy" title="Constitutional monarchy">constitutional monarchy</a> inspired by <a href="/wiki/United_Kingdom" title="United Kingdom">Britain</a>, with ministers bound to the instructions of the <a href="/wiki/Reichstag_(German_Empire)" title="Reichstag (German Empire)">Reichstag</a>, rather than the Emperor. </p><p>However, Frederick's illness prevented him from effectively establishing policies and measures to achieve this, and such moves as he was able to make were later abandoned by his son and successor, <a href="/wiki/Wilhelm_II" title="Wilhelm II">Wilhelm II</a>. The timing of Frederick's death and the brevity of his reign are important topics among historians. His premature demise is considered a potential turning point in German history; and whether or not he would have made the Empire more liberal if he had lived longer is still a popular discussion among historians. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Personal_life">Personal life</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Frederick_III,_German_Emperor&amp;action=edit&amp;section=1" title="Edit section: Personal life"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Early_life_and_education">Early life and education</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Frederick_III,_German_Emperor&amp;action=edit&amp;section=2" title="Edit section: Early life and education"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Friedrich_Wilhelm_Nikolaus_Karl_von_Preu%C3%9Fen,_ca_1841.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9b/Friedrich_Wilhelm_Nikolaus_Karl_von_Preu%C3%9Fen%2C_ca_1841.jpg/220px-Friedrich_Wilhelm_Nikolaus_Karl_von_Preu%C3%9Fen%2C_ca_1841.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="293" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9b/Friedrich_Wilhelm_Nikolaus_Karl_von_Preu%C3%9Fen%2C_ca_1841.jpg/330px-Friedrich_Wilhelm_Nikolaus_Karl_von_Preu%C3%9Fen%2C_ca_1841.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9b/Friedrich_Wilhelm_Nikolaus_Karl_von_Preu%C3%9Fen%2C_ca_1841.jpg/440px-Friedrich_Wilhelm_Nikolaus_Karl_von_Preu%C3%9Fen%2C_ca_1841.jpg 2x" data-file-width="879" data-file-height="1171" /></a><figcaption>Frederick William, ca. 1841</figcaption></figure> <p>Frederick William was born in the <a href="/wiki/New_Palace_(Potsdam)" class="mw-redirect" title="New Palace (Potsdam)">New Palace</a> at <a href="/wiki/Potsdam" title="Potsdam">Potsdam</a> in Prussia on 18 October 1831.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> He was a scion of the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Hohenzollern" title="House of Hohenzollern">House of Hohenzollern</a>, rulers of Prussia, then the most powerful of the German states.
