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.
Austria and Prussia
In the 1800s, the major powers in Europe were Britain, France, Austria, Prussia, and Russia. Britain and France had overseas empires.

Austria, France, Prussia mostly
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.
Europe consists of many countries. Some of those, such as Britain, France or Germany, are major powers in the world and have been for centuries, at times even more powerful than now.
Europe should be divided with power evenly balanced among the major powers
The major European powers met at the Congress of Vienna, which took place from September 1814 to June 1815. Delegates from Austria, Prussia, Russia, and the United Kingdom, among others, convened in Vienna to redraw the map of Europe and restore stability after the Napoleonic Wars. The congress aimed to balance power among the nations and prevent the rise of a dominant state, establishing a framework for international relations in the years to come.
Frederick the Great, who ruled from 1740 to 1786, is credited with transforming Prussia into a formidable power in Europe. Through military reforms, effective diplomacy, and a focus on economic development, he expanded Prussia's territory and influence. His successes in the Silesian Wars and the Seven Years' War solidified Prussia's reputation as a major European state. Frederick's emphasis on a strong, professional army and enlightened absolutism played a crucial role in shaping Prussia's rise.
