Early in his reign, Wilhelm II desperately wanted to be popular; he wanted to be a 'People's Kaiser'. In 1878 the Reichstag had adopted, at Bismarck's request, a law banning socialists from political campaigning, the publication of socialist books, etc. The law was renewed every four years till 1886 and up for renewal in 1890. Kaiser Wilhelm II didn't approve, Bismarck resigned and - to his astonishment - his resignation was accepted.

Why was Bismarck fired?

Otto von Bismarck was fired by Kaiser Wilhelm II in 1890 due to growing tensions between the two. Wilhelm sought a more aggressive foreign policy and desired to distance himself from Bismarck's diplomatic strategies, which emphasized stability through alliances. Bismarck's insistence on maintaining the status quo and his cautious approach clashed with Wilhelm's ambitions, ultimately leading to his dismissal. Additionally, Wilhelm aimed to assert his authority and leadership over the German Empire, which Bismarck's presence undermined.
