During the Seven Years' War (1756-1763), Prussia was primarily attacked by a coalition of Austria, Russia, France, and Sweden. The conflict arose from longstanding territorial and political rivalries, with Frederick the Great of Prussia facing multiple fronts as these powers sought to diminish Prussian influence in Europe. Despite being outnumbered and facing significant challenges, Prussia managed to survive the war and maintain its status as a major European power.
Prussia received the majority of the Rhineland during the Congress of Vienna. Prussia received the majority of the Rhineland because they only received half of Saxony and shared Poland with Russia and Austria.

The Silesian Wars helped Prussia to unite Germany because their victory prevented the invasion of other countries. During the Napoleonic wars Prussia was able to recapture previously owned areas of Europe. Also after the Franco-Prussian war, Prussia was able to untie Germany because of its victory in war.
East Prussia was part of the German state of Prussia during World War 2. It was actually part of Prussia from 1772 until 1829 and 1878 until 1945.
Well, Prussia's part during World War II was nothing... Russia played a huge role in WWII

Usually not. However, during the Seven Years' War a part of Prussia briefly became Russian from 1758 until 1763. After World War 2 a part of Prussia became Russian again. This "Russian Prussia" is called Kaliningrad Oblast. The other parts of (Old Baltic) Prussia are now part of Poland and Lithuania. Prussia has two meanings: The (German) Kingdom of Prussia on one hand and Old/Baltic Prussia on the other hand. The Kingdom of Prussia got its name from the original Baltic Prussia (in Old Prussian language it is called "Prūsa"). The original Baltic Prussia was the easternmost province of the Kingdom of Prussia. That Province of Prussia inside the Kingdom of Prussia was most of the time parted into East Prussia and West Prussia.

There is no doubt about the great philosopher Immanuel Kant having been born in Prussia. Kant is referred to as a German philosopher. The Teutonic Knights conquered the territory known as Prussia in the 13th century C.E.) and it was slowly Germanized over the centuries and became an integral part of medieval Germany by 1446, though it was not until 1701 that a Kingdom of Prussia was established. The Hohenzollern German Empire was formed in 1871 by the Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, of which Prussia was the dominant part. After WWII, when the map of Europe was redrawn, more than half of Prussia became a part of Poland and half of East Prussia (including Königsberg, now Kaliningrad). The only areas of historic Prussia which are a part of present-day Germany are northern Germany (north of the Saar and Thüringen) and entire former communist state of East Germany. Due to the aforementioned reasons, Kant is referred to as a German philosopher, as the city Königsberg, where he was born, is a Germanic city (and was the capital of Prussia), though now under Russian suzerainty. When Kant was alive Prussia was one the German states.
