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.

Historically, Berlin was the capital of the Prussia for centuries. When Prussia led the unification of Germany, it was natural that the Prussian capital would become the capital of the newly unified country.
