As second son of [[Frederick William III of Prussia|Friedrich Wilhelm III]] Wilhelm had no expectations to ascend to the throne and thus he received only little education. He served in the army from [[1814]] onward, fought against [[Napoleon I of France|Napoleon]], and was reportedly a very brave soldier. He also became an excellent diplomat by engaging in diplomatic missions after [[1815]]. In [[1848]] he successfully crushed a revolt that was aimed at his elder brother [[Frederick William IV of Prussia|King Friedrich Wilhelm IV]].

In [[1857]] Friedrich Wilhelm IV suffered from a [[stroke]] and became mentally disabled for the rest of his life. In January [[1858]] Wilhelm became [[Regent|Prince Regent]] for his brother.
==King and Kaiser==
On [[January 2]], [[1861]] Friedrich Wilhelm died and Wilhelm ascended the throne as Wilhelm I of Prussia.
He inherited a conflict between King and the liberal parliament. He was considered a politically neutral person as he intervened less in politics than his brother. He nevertheless found a conservative solution for the conflict: he appointed [[Otto von Bismarck]] to the office of Prime Minister. According to the Prussian constitution, the Prime Minister was solely responsible to the king, not to parliament. Bismarck liked to see his work relationship with Wilhelm as that of a vassal to his feudal superior. Nonetheless it was Bismarck who effectively directed the politics, interior as well as foreign; on several occasions he gained Wilhelm's assent by threatening to resign.
In the aftermath of the [[Franco-Prussian War]] Wilhelm was proclaimed German Emperor on [[January 18]], [[1871]] in [[Versailles]], in the palace of [[Louis XIV of France|Louis XIV]]. By this ceremony, the [[North German Confederation]] (1867-1871) was transformed into the [[German Empire]] ("Kaiserreich", 1871-1918). This Empire was a federal state; the emperor was head of state and president (''primus inter pares'') of the federated monarchs (the kings of [[Bavaria]], [[Württemberg]], [[Saxony]], the grand dukes of [[State of Baden|Baden]] and [[Hesse]], and so on, not to forget the senates of the free cities of [[Hamburg]], [[Lübeck]] and [[Bremen]]). Wilhelm accepted the title "German Emperor" grudgingly; he would have preferred "Emperor of Germany", which however was unacceptable to the federated monarchs.
In his memoirs, Bismarck describes Wilhelm as an old-fashioned, courteous, infallibly polite gentleman and a genuine Prussian officer, whose good common sense was occasionally undermined by "female influences".
In [[May 11]], [[1878]], anarchist [[Max Hödel]] attempts to assassinate Kaiser Wilhelm I in [[Berlin]], but he's attempt fells.
These attempts became the pretext for the institution of the [[Anti-Socialism|Anti-Socialist]] Law, which was introduced by Bismarck’s government with the support of a majority in the [[Reichstag]] on [[October 21]], [[1878]], for the purpose of fighting the ''socialist'' and working-class movement. The law deprived the [[Social-Democratic Party of Germany]] of its legal status; it prohibited all its organisations, workers’ mass organisations and the socialist and workers’ press, decreed confiscation of socialist literature, and subjected Social-Democrats to reprisals. The law was extended every 2-3 years. Despite this policy of reprisals the Social-Democratic Party increased its influence among the masses. Under pressure of the mass working-class movement the law was repealed on [[October 1]], [[1890]].
==Issue==
In [[1829]], Wilhelm married [[Augusta of Saxe-Weimar]] and had two children:
*[[Friedrich III, German Emperor]] (1831–1888) and
*[[Princess Louise of Prussia]] (1838–1923)
