Part 90: Victoria: Chapter 24 - Choices for a New Century

Intermission: Choices for a New Century

As the centurial celebrations die down, the Reichstag convenes in January to elect a new ruling party. There are five main parties in Germany that have been approved by the Kaiser: The new incarnation of the modernizers Freisinnige Partei, the nationalistic and hawkish Nationalliberale, the moderate Zentrumspartei, the Catholic-moralism Christsoz. Arbeiterpartei and the rectionary Nationale Partei. The Socialist party, only recently invited into the Reichstag in exchange for their professed support for the Emperor, are campaigning on an anti-militaristic and pro-reforms platform. The Radical party remains banned.
