In the aftermath of World War II, Prussia - a centuries-old state pivotal to Europe’s development - ceased to exist. In their eagerness to erase all traces of the Third Reich from the earth, the Allies believed that Prussia, the very embodiment of German militarism, had to be abolished. But as Christopher Clark reveals in this pioneering history, Prussia’s legacy is far more complex.
What we find is a kingdom that existed nearly half a millennium ago as a patchwork of territorial fragments, with neither significant resources nor a coherent culture. With its capital in Berlin, Prussia grew from being a small, poor, disregarded medieval state into one of the most vigorous and powerful nations in Europe. Iron Kingdom traces Prussia’s involvement in the continent’s foundational religious and political conflagrations: from the devastations of the Thirty Years’ War through centuries of political machinations to the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire, from the enlightenment of Frederick the Great to the destructive conquests of Napoleon, and from the “iron and blood” policies of Bismarck to the creation of the German Empire in 1871 and all that implied for the tumultuous 20th century.

What a bull… Prussia is the name of nation/tribe that Germany first exterminated and then stolen that name for themselves century later. They did that to “persuade” other nations that they have rights to land that exterminated people lived on.

Thats where you are wrong kiddo. Those people never got exterminated the just got conquered and then assimilated into Germany.

@Samfalcon99 thank you for the great upload. Can you please upload “What went wrong” by Bertrand Lewis and “Lost Enlightenment” by Frederick Starr?
Thanks,

Very true Altonar, and Prussia is by no means an anomaly. Most modern countries and their inhabitants are the results of conquest by an invading force at one point or another, in some cases multiple times. Britian with Roman’s, Norse, Angles and the French. Russia with the Norse, Angles, and Slavs. Africa with Muslims and Anglo saxons, Americas with Anglos and Latin, China with Mongals and it goes on and on and on
