Prussia became the largest - and dominant - constituent state of the new German Empire in 1871. After Emperor William II's overthrow/abdication in 1918 it continued as a state in the German republic and (from 1933) the Third Reich until broken up by the Nazi regime in 1935. In 1945 its territories were divided between Germany, Poland and the USSR, and in 1947 Prussia was abolished as an administrative entity by the Allies.
