Prussia

Kingdom of Prussia was created in 1701.

Because the victorious Allies of World War 2 wanted it that way that Prussia is part of Poland, Russia, and Lithuania.

As the result of France's loss in the Franco-Prussian War, the northeastern French Province of Alsace Lorraine (called Elsass-Lohringen in German) was ceded to Greater Germany.

Prussia battled Austria during the Mid-1700s to control the German states. In the Battle of Chotusitz, on May 17, 1742, 23,500 Prussians under Frederick II were victorious over 28,000 Austrians under Prince Charles of Lorraine.

Austria

Before the unification of Germany, Prussia was a monarchy led by a king. The Minister President was another leadership position, which was appointed by the king. Prussian citizens voted for the members of the parliament indirectly.

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 1865 the territory of Prussia was separated into two sections by the Kingdom of Hamburg and the Danish held Schleswig-Holstein. These would be annexed by Prussia in the 1866 Austro-Prussian War uniting the entire area.
