The Progressive People's Party (Fortschrittliche Volkspartei or FVP) was a liberal party of late Imperial Germany. It was formed in 6 March, 1910 as a merger of Freeminded People's Party, Freeminded Union, and German People's Party in order to unify the various liberal groups represented in parliament. the Progressives became a major force in parliament during the First World War, joining with the Majority Socialists and the Catholic Centre to form the Reichstag majority that would pass the famous Peace Resolution of 1917.
The party was disbanded in 1918 after the fall of the Empire, with most of its members joining the new German Democratic Party (Deutsche Demokratische Partei), which merged the Progressives with the left wing of the old National Liberal Party (Nationalliberale Partei).
