New Era (Prussia)

The New Era (German: Neue Ära) was the term for the government policy in the Kingdom of Prussia between Autumn 1858 and Spring 1862. It followed the Era of Reaction under Frederick William IV.[1]

Overview

The New Era began with the regency of Wilhelm on October 7, 1858, who became King Wilhelm I in 1861. After the Era of Reaction of the 1850s, which had emphasized the preservation of the old conservative prerogatives, the new Regent tried to enforce reforms by calling together a conservative-liberal coalition government. However, the reforms were blocked by the deputies from the Junker nobility, which led the Prussian House of Lords.

gollark: `m = y_1-y_2/x_1-x_2`, `c = y_1 - mx_1`, I think.
gollark: You can rearrange the equation for `c` and substitute in one of the points to get `c`.
gollark: Straight lines have the equation `y = mx + c`, where m and c are constants. `m` is the gradient, which is just the difference in y between those points divided by the difference in x.
gollark: "Straight line" in what form?
gollark: Neat, how does that work? Just tracking how far it goes?
