Frederick IV and I, Emperor of Germany (1831-1900? born Friedrich Wilhelm Nikolaus Karl von Hohenzollern) was German Emperor and King of Prussia (as well as, eventually, King of Westphalia) between his father's (William I, German Emperor) death in June 2, 1878, and his own death. Known informally as Fritz, Frederick IV was the only son of Wilhelm I and was raised as the heir from an early age. However, he did not inherit his father's conservative policies; instead, he developed pro-British, Liberal sentiment through his tutors.

| abstract
| - Frederick IV and I, Emperor of Germany (1831-1900? born Friedrich Wilhelm Nikolaus Karl von Hohenzollern) was German Emperor and King of Prussia (as well as, eventually, King of Westphalia) between his father's (William I, German Emperor) death in June 2, 1878, and his own death. Known informally as Fritz, Frederick IV was the only son of Wilhelm I and was raised as the heir from an early age. However, he did not inherit his father's conservative policies; instead, he developed pro-British, Liberal sentiment through his tutors. Frederick was an extremely influential personality in the German Empire of the late XIX century, as he was the leading force of German liberalism during the Age of Reforms and the Sweeping Declarations. He and his liberal advisors arranged for the destruction of the Bismarckian web of alliances, making the nation grow closer to the United Kingdom and Russia (becoming close friends after his succession with Liberal leaders HH Asquith and William Gladstone in Great Britain, and with his cousin Alexander II in Russia]], rather than the previous Austro-Hungarian alliance that had characterised post-unification Germany. He also was the birth of the modern German liberal state, based on the principles of individual protection and collective freedom. Frederick IV and I was the main reformer of the German constitution, was vital in the liberal-socialist projects regarding the defeat of the junker elites in Prussia and Saxony, and the weakening of the Kingdom of Prussia. Under his direct declarations was the executive of the German Empire heavily weakened, replaced by a British-style legislative government, with large power towards the Reichstag and the Cabinet it elects (however, these events did not properly happen until the 1907 election, during Heinrich VIII's reign). Under Frederick's reign, the SDP and the liberal parties in Parliament grew to extreme prominence, and began developing their modern ideological platforms.
