Prussia was a historical state in Europe that existed from the 16th century until the end of World War II in 1947. At its peak in the early 20th century, particularly around 1910, Prussia had a population of approximately 40 million people. However, since Prussia no longer exists as a political entity, there is no current population to report.
Prussia ceased to exist at the end of World War 2. Most of the population of East Prussia, Pommernia and Silesia was expelled and resettled in West Germany in 1945-47.
Bismarck wanted unification to achieve his aim of a conservative, Prussian-dominated German state, attained through three wars.
In the 1700s, German was the predominant language used in Prussia. It was the official language of the government, administration, and education, reflecting the ethnic composition of the region's population.
Prussia was the name of the kingdom established in 1701 by the Hohenzollern dynasty, the Electors of Brandenburg. As they weren't allowed to establish new kingdom within the Holy Roman Empire they named the new kingdom after a territory outside the Empire, Prussia, and were crowned in its capital, Koenigsberg (now called Kaliningrad). 'Old Prussia' corresponded roughly to what was East Prussia from 1815-1945. Before the area was colonized by Germans, the population spoke a Baltic language - Prussian. The Kingdom of Prussia established in 1701 covered a large area and only a minority of its inhabitants were descended from former speakers of Prussian. In 1945 East Prussia was divided between the Soviet Union and Poland and German population was expelled. Because of the long-standing assocoation of the Kingdom of Prussia with military aggression, in 1947 the Allies declared Prussia dissolved. Since then Prussia had ceased to exist, though some people are still sentimentally attached to it. Joncey
Prussia was officially dissolved in 1947.
Usually not. However, during the Seven Years' War a part of Prussia briefly became Russian from 1758 until 1763. After World War 2 a part of Prussia became Russian again. This "Russian Prussia" is called Kaliningrad Oblast. The other parts of (Old Baltic) Prussia are now part of Poland and Lithuania. Prussia has two meanings: The (German) Kingdom of Prussia on one hand and Old/Baltic Prussia on the other hand. The Kingdom of Prussia got its name from the original Baltic Prussia (in Old Prussian language it is called "Prūsa"). The original Baltic Prussia was the easternmost province of the Kingdom of Prussia. That Province of Prussia inside the Kingdom of Prussia was most of the time parted into East Prussia and West Prussia.
Prussia was created in 1525.
