	Leo von Caprivi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Georg Leo Graf von Caprivi de Caprara de Montecuccoli (en: Count George Leo von Caprivi, Caprara, and Montecuccoli) (February 24, 1831–February 6, 1899) was a German major general and statesman, who succeeded Otto von Bismarck as Chancellor of Germany, serving between 1890 and 1894.
		Caprivi entered the army in 1849, and served in the wars of 1866 and 1870, the latter as a corps Chief of Staff.
		In 1892, following a legislative defeat on an educational bill, Caprivi was dismissed as Prussian Minister-President and replaced by Count Botho zu Eulenburg, leading to an untenable division of powers between the Chancellor and the Prussian premier, ultimately leading to the dismissal of both in 1894 and their succession by Prince Chlodwig of Hohenlohe-Schillingsfürst.
