Were is prussia located?

Asked by Wiki User

Technically, Prussia doesn't exist anymore as a country/kingdom. It consisted of parts of Germany, Poland, Russia, and at one point, the Czech Republic/Czechslovakia (more specifically Silesia). So if you're asking where it WAS located, that's the answer. Although you can find a website that says its a region in Germany, which works just as well.

Either way, it's basically in northeastern Europe.

Asked by Wiki User

Prussia was fighting "internal" wars in the 1860s. The "Seven Weeks War" was one of them. These were "unification wars" (Civil Wars fought amongst the same peoples but utilizing different names...such as in the US...Confederates and Union forces or Rebels and Federal Forces...same same all were Americans...). Prussia later became Germany. The only real war was fought between 1870-1871 between France & Prussia called the "Franco-Prussian War." This war gave birth to the name Germany.

How did Frederick the Great improve the Prussian army?

Asked by ChuckSiata

Frederick the Great is credited for improving the Prussian army in two major ways.He refined the so-called "Processional" method of deploying troops into battle with his new "Perpendicular" model. This avoided the exposure of his troops to flank attacks. In addition, he developed his so-called " march by lines" formation which was a seamless movement allowing his battalions to be better prepared to attack an enemy's flank.

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.

What was the major result of the war between Prussia an Austria?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The Prusso-Austrian war of 1864 changed the power structure within the Germanic lands and hence in Europe overall. For much of European history, Austria was the dominant German power and all the german states, (prussia included) followed their lead. When Prussia defeated Austria, Austria pulled out of German affairs and focused on their empire in the south. Prussia (with Bismarck as PM) eventually unified Germany, first through the North German confederation and finally with the German Reich, where the Prussian king became German Emperor.

Frederick rejected the crown that was given to him by the Frankfurt Parliament because he wouldn't have full control over Prussia and all the rest of the state the Frankfurt Parliament would be telling him what to do hence why he turnt it down. He basically saved Prussia, if you study the German Confederation you will see that Prussia then becomes dominant in the end over Austria as Austrias power begins to deflate.
