Prussia historically refers to a region in north-central Europe that was a significant state within the German Empire. It was originally inhabited by the Baltic Prussians, a group of indigenous tribes, before being conquered by the Teutonic Knights in the 13th century. Over time, Prussia evolved into a powerful kingdom known for its military strength and influence in European politics, especially during the 18th and 19th centuries. The term "Prussia" can also refer to the cultural and political legacy left behind after its dissolution following World War II.

Prussia has two meanings: The (German) Kingdom of Prussia on one hand and Old/Baltic Prussia on the other hand.
