I'm doing some search for a late 19th century TL and I'm exploring options over what road to take with North Germany (ie North German confederacy or at least Prussia in a non unification scenario).

Bismarck remains the most influential figure of this era of German politics, but seemingly, when Bismarck first came to power, he faced stiff opposition from a liberal dominated parliament. So I wondered if by removing Bismarck (let's say he is assassinated), we would have liberals finally taking the reins of government. My forethought is about how this could impact German (north german/prussian) colonial policies, my assumption being that liberals would be more proactive in promoting colonial adventures unlike Bismarck.
