Summary
Were you ever curious about how a small and unimportant Germanic duchy managed to grow and expand so much to create a German empire?
If you want an answer to this question, have a listen to our guide to the history of Prussia!
This audiobook will take you on a thrilling ride through history, starting with the modest origins of Prussia and its Hohenzollern dynasty. You will be amazed at how they traversed the historical barbwire of late medieval times, unwillingly entangled in wars with greater powers and religious reformation.
Then, just when you think Prussia will be swept away by violent forces out of its control, you will see how stubborn the Prussians were as they overcame various hurdles. You will learn of their struggles against the Habsburgs and Austria, France and Napoleon, and many other adversaries in the countless wars in which the Prussians found themselves - wars which weren’t always won by them.
In this Captivating Guide to the Kingdom of Prussia, you’ll learn:
- How did the Prussian state emerge on the historical stage?
- What fueled its growth, and how did it fit in the Holy Roman Empire?
- How did the Hohenzollern dynasty shape the Prussian tale?
- How did Prussia survive the Thirty Years’ War?
- What saved Prussia from crumbling under Napoleon?
- Which changes were needed for its military to become the world’s finest?
- How did Prussia unify the German Empire through conflict?
- Why was King Frederick II Prussia’s greatest monarch?
- How important a role did Otto von Bismarck play in the final evolution of Prussia?
- What were the roots of Prussian nationalism?
