Answer
The "New Course" under Chancellor Leo von Caprivi, marked a shift in German foreign policy during the reign of Emperor Wilhelm II. It sought to improve relations with Russia and France, and reduce Germany's isolation. Caprivi pursued a more conciliatory and pragmatic approach compared to his predecessor Otto von Bismarck's policies. However, this change in direction faced challenges and ultimately proved unsustainable, contributing to Caprivi's resignation in 1894.
