>Frederick had the fervour but not the time to accomplish his desires, lamenting in May 1888, "I cannot die ... What would happen to Germany?"
>From April 1888, Frederick became so weak he was unable to walk, and was largely confined to his bed; his continual coughing brought up large quantities of pus. In early June, the cancer spread to and perforated his esophagus, preventing him from eating. He suffered from bouts of vomiting and ran high fevers, but remained alert enough to write a last diary entry on 11 June: "What's happening to me? I must get well again; I have so much to do!"
>Frederick III died in Potsdam at 11:30 a.m. on 15 June 1888, and was succeeded by his 29-year-old son Wilhelm II.
Cancer directly caused World War 1.

The lead-up to WWI is seriously the saddest shit ever, just seeing all these last moments of goodness and glory in the monarchies of Europe before it all came crashing down forever.

It's sad how seemingly all the predecessors of the monarchs who waged the 2nd world war were great leaders. Then their successors threw all of it away
Wilhelm II Nicholas II George V Otto I They all threw away everything that their fathers accomplished
Frederick honestly sounds like he would have been a fantastic emperor

Will Wilhelm II not just fuck shit up when he takes over. If we assume Freddy III lives to a similar age as Willy I then that gives Willy II a couple decades to fuck shit up.

>Will Wilhelm II not just fuck shit up when he takes over. It's seems possible he and/or the german political parties will do a bit of growing up until then.
