Prussia s relations with Great Britain and Italy before the unification of Germany 20

Prussia and Germany are relations between one country, and Prussia is the predecessor of Germany. In 1870, the iron-blooded Prime Minister Bismarck provoked King Napoleon III of France and forced the other side to go to war. In the war, Prussia and the German princes won the victory, and Bismarck took advantage of the victory to complete the unification of Germany.

So since this day on, Germany has become an enlarged Prussia, with the King of Prussia serving as Emperor of the German Empire and the Chancellor of Prussia serving as Chancellor of the German Empire. Before the unification of Germany, Prussia and Austria were the two most powerful states in the German Holy Roman Empire, and were one of the European powers at that time, and in the mid-19th century, the Kingdom of Prussia won the Prussian-Danish War, the Austro-Prussian War and the Franco-Prussian War, unified Germany except for the Austrian Empire, and established the German Empire in 1871.

A brief introduction to the rest of Prussia.

The region of ancient Prussia included only the territory of West Prussia south of present-day Lithuania, west of the mouth of the Vistula River in northeastern Poland, centered on Danzig, and the former East Prussia region of Kaliningrad, Russia. In 1295 the Teutonic knights**, who occupied Prussia, bought Pomerania and the Danzig region.

In 1308 the Newmark region was purchased from the Elector of Brandenburg, and Prussia bordered the Holy Roman Empire proper. In the 15th century, Danzig and West Prussia were ceded to Poland.

Prussia was also sometimes synonymous with the spirit, culture, and order of modern Germany, helping German Protestantism to free itself from the rule of the Austrian Habsburgs.

Peculiarities of Prussia.

Prussia was a Junker state, and the power of the burgher class here was very weak. On the one hand, due to the devastation of the war, the development of the workshop handicraft industry was slow, which accounted for less than 10% of the total economy of the country, and their market depended largely on the living consumption of feudal princes and nobles and the expenditure of the army, on the other hand, when Britain and France had already overcome the traditional shackles of the guild at the end of the 18th century, the German handicraft industry was still controlled by the guild.
