Here in this scenario we will explore how Friedrich III living longer would impact history. A world war is going to be unavoidable seeing French irredentism over Alsace Lorraine, the situation in the Balkans and imperialist conflicts. I'm going to avoid the thinking of him being there could avert the Great War like an author said according to his Wikipedia page.
To sum it up before his death he was an admirer of Prince Albert, Queen Victoria's husband. He and his wife planned to rule as consorts, like Albert and Queen Victoria, and to reform what they saw as flaws in the executive branch that Bismarck had created for himself. The office of Chancellor, responsible to the Emperor, would be replaced with a British-style cabinet, with ministers responsible to the Reichstag. Government policy would be based on the consensus of the cabinet. Frederick "described the Imperial Constitution as ingeniously contrived chaos." Here in my scenario, he carries some reforms but due to his oppositions in the government, he doesn't manage to carry the rest of his intended reforms.
In this timeline, without Wilhelm II's overambitious personality, Germany never managed to be despised by Britain. In fact Germany is a close friend to Britain due to his ties to Britain and how liberals in Britain likes him. In the first part we're going to see the effect from Friedrich III's ascension into the Great War.
