Best Answer

German joined Prussia and Austria in the newly-formed German Confederation, a replacement to the now obsolete Holy Roman Empire. When the Franco-Prussian War took place Prussia gained the territory of Alsace-Lorraine when they beat France. The war caused German states to consolidate into a unified German nation, which was the German Empire.

Why wasn't Prussia involved in world war 1?

By the time of WWI Prussia no longer existed as an independent nation. Prussia was one of the largest of the "Germanic States" which were unified into a single nation in the 1860s. Prussia was also the most warlike of the several hundred Germanic city-states of varying sizes. But in some ways the Prussians were in fact very much involved in WWI. The German Kaiser, Wilhelm II, was of the Hohenzollern Dynasty. This was the ruling family of Prussia, which had become, with German unification, the ruling family of all Germany.
