Frederick William I of Prussia differed from his father, Frederick I, in his approach to governance and military focus. While Frederick I prioritized cultural and courtly affairs, emphasizing the establishment of Prussia as a kingdom, Frederick William I concentrated on building a powerful military state and implementing strict fiscal policies. He reduced expenditures on the arts and the royal court, instead investing in the army and fostering a culture of discipline and efficiency. This shift laid the groundwork for Prussia's emergence as a major European power in the 18th century.
