PERSIA is the historic name for the various empires that emanated from and controlled modern-day Iran, in the Middle East. The most famous Persian Empires are those of the Achaemenids, Parthians, Sassanids, Khwarezmians, Safavids, and Qajjars. Under the Pahlavi Dynasty, which directly succeeded the Qajjars, the country was renamed as Iran.
PRUSSIA was a historic German state found in 1525 as the Duchy of Prussia in what is today northeast Poland and Russian Kaliningrad. It was always ruled by the royal House of Hohenzollern and expanded south and west from its capital in Königsberg. Eventually, it came to dominate the Western third of modern Poland and the northeast quarter of modern Germany, shifting its capital to Berlin in 1701. The Prussians led by Otto Von Bismarck achieved the unification of Germany in the 19th century and Prussia was incorporated into the German Empire or Second Reich in 1871. After German defeats in both World Wars, the eastern two-thirds of Prussia was ceded to Poland and the Soviet Union.
