About :
Prussia in the 18th century was particularly strongly influenced by the kings Frederick William I and his son Frederick II. When Frederick William I took over Prussia in 1713, it was still relatively small and did not play a major role in the European structure. Frederick William wanted to develop Prussia into a great power. He was a pragmatist and demanded of himself and his subjects diligence, order, punctuality and thrift. Many of the Prussian virtues, and thus also German ones, have their origins here. And since Frederick William, as a ruler and role model, had a great passion for the military, the population learned a lot from the soldiers in order to please the king. They adopted the virtues for everyday life. In fact, the Soldier King, as Frederick William was known, only used his army once. Otherwise it served as a deterrent. His son Frederick II was completely different. He made Prussia a great European power. Unlike his father, he was popular with the people, governed more humanely, introduced compulsory schooling, promoted the arts and helped the potato to make its breakthrough. Then he does what his father never really dared to do, or was too stingy to do. Frederick wages war. Like practically everyone else in Europe, he is involved in the Seven Years' War. As the monarchies also drag their colonies into it, the battles are not limited to the borders of Europe, but are also fought in India, North America, and the Caribbean. In the end, Prussia emerges from this type of world war as the fifth European superpower. Frederick is very successful and manages to expand Prussia's territory. By this time, Frederick is already known as "the Great," because compared to the other rulers of Europe, he actively fights with his troops on the battlefield. This not only makes him more popular with his own people, but also corresponds to his self-image. As a ruler, he sees himself as the first servant of the state.
