History

Leo von Caprivi was replaced as prime minister by the conservative Botho zu Eulenburg, but remained chancellor and Prussian foreign minister. For the second time, the offices of reich chancellor and Prussian prime minister were separated, with the result that the Reich leadership and the Prussian State Ministry formed two competing and partially blocking centers of power.
