Did Prussia ever include parts of Baltic States?

Yes, Prussia did include parts of the Baltic States, specifically during the period of the Teutonic Knights in the 13th century. The region of Prussia expanded to encompass areas that are now part of modern-day Latvia and Estonia after various military campaigns. However, after the partitions of Poland in the late 18th century, the boundaries of Prussia shifted, and its control over these regions diminished.

Where does Prussia come from?

Prussia originated as a region inhabited by the Baltic Prussians, a group of pagan tribes, in what is now northeastern Poland and the Kaliningrad Oblast of Russia. In the 13th century, the Teutonic Knights, a Catholic military order, conquered the area and established the State of the Teutonic Order. Over time, the region evolved into the Duchy of Prussia, which became a Protestant state in the 16th century, and later transformed into the Kingdom of Prussia in 1701, playing a significant role in European history and the unification of Germany. Prussia ultimately ceased to exist as a political entity after World War II, when its territories were divided between Poland, Russia, and other nations.
