The German states were united by a series of three wars planned out by Otto von Bismarck and carried out by teh Prussian state that had diplomatic significance to the people in the different regions. Bismarck knew that the states in the north wouldn;t join with Prussia unless it seemed like the most logical option. To convince them, he told Demark, that bordered those states, that the duchies of Schlesswieg and Hollstein were German and shouldn't be controlled by Denmark. He made a deal with the Austro-Hungarians that if they fought with Prussia against Denmark, they would get one of the duchies. The Danish-Prussian War ensued. Denmark was defeated, Schlesswieg and Hollstein went under Prussian and Austrian rule and those northern German states saw unity with Prussia as the most logical option. And because Denmark began the war itself, the war saw it as an agressor against a country who want to negotitate through diplomats so there were no hard feelings for Prussia amongst other countries. Schlesswieg and Hollstein served another purpose. The southeastern German states would rather join Austia-Hungary that with the other German states. Bismarck again thought a war would convince them of German supperiority. The former Danish duchy Prussia had let Austria take provided an excuse. Bismarck told Austria Prussia didn't think Austria was ruling its duchy very well. Austria took offense and began the Austro-Prussian War, also known as the Seven Weeks War. Prussia won, but stopped short of sacking Vienna because they would need Austria as an ally eventually. The southeastern states joined with Prussia and Prussia got the other duchy. And because Austria began the war, the world saw Austria as an agressor against a country who had simply said something through a diplomat so other countries had no hard feelings for Prussia. Bismarck had to do something rather underhanded to gain the Southwestern provinces as well as Alsace and Lorraine, that were under French control. At Ems, the kaiser of Prussia recieved a telegram from Napolean III of France that described that he felt offended by such-and-such a thing. The Kaiser wrote a very apologietic letter and told Bismarck to send it. However, Bismarck wrote and sent a different, rude letter not only to Napolean, but to multiple French newspapers. When the French demanded answers, Bismarck presented teh Kaiser's letter and claimed Prussia had been framed. The French began the Franco-Prussia War over the offense. It ended and 180,000 French were prisoners of Prussia, including Napolean. The southwestern states joined Prussia and the treaty ceded Alsace and Lorraine to the new Germany. Again, Prussia was not the agressor and was well-liked. This all occurred over a decade and ended with a united Germany in 1871.
The original region of Prussia is where East Prussia was known. The Prussians of this region expanded west into the areas of Brandenburg and Silesia and eventually went as far Westphalia. The original area was then named East Prussia as it was the most eastern part of the original Prussian area. After WW2 Prussia was split up into mainly German and Polish states/provinces. Today the former province of East Prussia has been divided into the Polish province of Warmian-Masurian and the Russian enclave known as the Kaliningrad Oblast. No effort has yet been made to re-establish the Prussian nation.
in 1945 most of it went to Russia, but a small portion of it went to Poland
They fought the war because they were fighting over a cookie. Austria wanted the sacred cookie for Santa and Prussia wanted the cookie for the starving ants. Austria took a rocket launcher and blew there head off. Prussia and the citizens went on strike. The Austrians lost the war. Prussia still have the cookie to this day.

Denmark and the United Kingdom
Prussia was a German kingdom from 1701 to 1918. From 1871 until the defeat of Germany in World War it was the leading state of the German Empire, comprising almost two-thirds of the area of the empire.With the abdication of Wilhelm II in 1918, the Kingdom of Prussia was dissolved and replaced with the Free State of Prussia. The democratic Free State of Prussia was taken over by a Nazi coup in 1932/33. After the end of war Otto Braun, the leader of the original democratic government went to court over his ousting in order to reinstate the legal Prussian government. The Allied Occupation forces, who had taken up occupation of all of Germany, were not interested and declared Prussia abolished in 1947. Other Answer: Yeah, what he/she said, but my ancestors of MY family were actually the head of Prussia. im not lying, they were my great grandpa's parents. :] Other other answer: Prussia, in theory, still exists. Proof of that is the answer above. I answer this because the land doesn't make the country, the people do. You can have a country without land. But if you're going by the norm, no. Prussia does not.
Austria and Prussia were fighting over a cookie. Austria wanted the sacred cookie for Santa and Prussia wanted the cookie for the starving ants. Austria took a rocket launcher and blew there head off. Prussia and the citizens went on strike. The Austrians lost the war. Prussia still have the cookie to this day.
He went to war with France. He went through loop holes and enticed war with Austria. He then made Austria help Prussia take over Schelswig and Holstein so that Prussia would look like a better country to take the lead as a United Germany but in doing so kicking out Austria in the 7 Weeks war and paying them off.
No, Denmark is on the top 5 of oldest countries and has always been independant.
