1878

 * June 2: Wilhelm the First of the German Empire is by Doctor Karl Nobiling, a Socialist-leaning agricultural expert, while he was passing Berlin in an official visit. Wilhelm is rushed off to his palace, where he is to be taken care of by doctors. In the chaos, Nobiling escapes the scene.


 * June 4: Wilhelm the First dies of terrible brain trauma, due to his shot. His son, Frederick, is to succeed him as Emperor of Germany. Due to the lack of a coronation ceremony, Frederick declares himself Frederick IV, despite warnings from Bismark.


 * July 30: Elections are held in Germany, the first in Frederick's rule. Due to Frederick's tendencies, high hopes are felt by the liberal sides of Parliament, but they are somewhat disappointed as it, once again, seems like an impasse, with and  getting nearly the same votes.


 * October 1: Otto von Bismark presents to the Reichstag an Anti-Socialist Law, which attempted to ban the Social Democratic Party from competing on elections. Frederick IV intervenes in favour of the SDP, stating "if we destroy our eggs, we shall never gain chickens". Instead, the Reichstag compromises on a rule outlawing SDP extremists, allowing for large amounts of discrimination against the SDP.
