It was part of the European tapestry that the Monarchs sought to repress the nobility who were for the most part the landed aristocracy. So to in Prussia. To keep good-willed control of this aristocracy, military commissions were awarded, and the nobility were allowed a free hand over the peasants. Thus we have the Prussian monarchy ruling the nobles and the nobles ruling the peasants. Everyone but the peasants were happy, but they had no power. Viewing this from another angle, the peasants could feel secure that their leaders would be there to defend them against other foreign powers.

No - there is quite a lot of overlap, but many of the states of the current Germany were never part of Prussia and some territories that were part of Prussia are not part of the current Germany (much of the current Poland and Lithuania were part of Prussia, for example). For a more precise description you need to specify exactly which time period you are talking about since the territorial limits of the state varied over time.

Both Prussia and Austria wanted a diplomatic resolution rather than war, and thus attempted to remain neutral. Austria especially wanted to stay away from fighting Russia, who had previously offered them help, but eventually fought against Russia when they felt Russia was becoming too much of a threat.

Princess Augusta of Prussia was born on 1780-05-01.

In August 1791, the king of Prussia and the emperor of Austria- who was Marie Antoinette's brother- issued the Declaration of Pilnitz. In this document, the two monarchs threatened to intervene to protect the French monarchy. The declaration may have been mostly bluff, but revolutionaries in France took the threat seriously and prepared for war. The revolution was about to enter a new, more radical phase of change and conflict.

Paul von Hindenburg's body was removed from East Prussia before the Soviets completed their advance during the Winter of 1945. His body was hidden in a Salt mine along with the bodies of Kings Friedrich I and II. The US hid the bodies for many during the Cold War. Currently, Hindenburg's body rests at the ancient St Elizabeth Church in Marberg Hesse.

I read something about it 'cause Sollero is my family's surname. An historian wrote that a nobleman who lived in Prussia in that time, gave some troops to Frederick William of Prussia.

He tricked Maria Theresa of Austria into allowing his army entrance into her borders as part of an alliance, but turned on her and overtook the province of Silesia

Frederick the Great was an absolute monarch in europe.

King Frederick the Great

Otto von Bismarck united Germany by leading Prussia into wars against several different adversaries: Denmark, Austria, and France in three successive wars. The formal unification of Germany occurred on January 18, 1871, at the Versailles Palace's Hall of Mirrors in France.

Austria and Prussia wanted France to restore Louis to the throne. The Declaration of Pillnitz was issued and the French Legislative Assembly responded by declaring war on them in 1792.

Damaging Austria too greatly would cause its leaders to join with Prussia's other enemies.

PERSIA is the historic name for the various empires that emanated from and controlled modern-day Iran, in the Middle East. The most famous Persian Empires are those of the Achaemenids, Parthians, Sassanids, Khwarezmians, Safavids, and Qajjars. Under the Pahlavi Dynasty, which directly succeeded the Qajjars, the country was renamed as Iran.

PRUSSIA was a historic German state found in 1525 as the Duchy of Prussia in what is today northeast Poland and Russian Kaliningrad. It was always ruled by the royal House of Hohenzollern and expanded south and west from its capital in Königsberg. Eventually, it came to dominate the Western third of modern Poland and the northeast quarter of modern Germany, shifting its capital to Berlin in 1701. The Prussians led by Otto von Bismarck achieved the unification of Germany in the 19th century and Prussia was incorporated into the German Empire or Second Reich in 1871. After German defeats in both World Wars, the eastern two-thirds of Prussia was ceded to Poland and the Soviet Union.

East Prussia is now Poland, Russia (Kaliningrad), and Lithuania.

Prussia at varying points in history covered sections of what is now Poland, Russia, Lithuania and Germany; its capital was Berlin at one stage.

It has been called the "Seven Weeks War" or the "Austro-Prussian War".

Many of Frederick II's reforms helped give the poor more upward mobility and ease their conditions. However, he was not able to entirely do away with the serf system and the upper class was still offered a great deal of favoritism and protection that the lower class was not. Additionally, his religious freedom reforms did not include Jewish people, who were legally discriminated against under his rule.

The 1945 Allied occupation divided both Germany and Berlin into various zones. When three of these merged in 1948 as West Germany, the capital was established at Bonn. Although reunification was agreed to in 1990, Bonn served as the interim seat of government until 1999.

Frederick began to build his nation's status when Leopold I, archduke of Austria and Holy Roman emperor, was convinced by Frederick to allow Prussia to be ruled as a kingdom. This agreement was ostensibly given in exchange for an alliance against King Louis XIV of France in the War of the Spanish Succession.
