We ABOLISHED This European Country #history

Prussia, it's Russia but with an extra P and also nothing like Russia?

[MrInsdor]

the territory of the original prussia might not lie within german borders, but at its greatest extent up to german unification it included a huge chunk of modern northern and western germany

[Stevegold_]

"Germany doesn't use prussian culture" *me watching this video while eating Königsberger Klopse*

[strangelic]

"Let's explain that briefly" is a bold proposition when the topic is European borders.

[hans]

Fun fact: the Old Prussians were neither German or Russian. They were not even Germanic or Slavic. They spoke a Baltic language related to Lithuanian and Latvian.

[perborjel]

Actually Prussia was only called so because that made the duke of Brandenburg into a king. It was really Brandenburg which is still part of Germany while Prussia proper is lost.

“Germany no longer has Prussia”
Berlin:

Ok people I get it. Berlin is Brandenburgen and königsburg is Prussian. I just thought that, ever since Prussia and Brandenburg became one, Prussia took the wheel

[GwainSagaFanChannel]

United States: Who are you?
United Provinces: I am you but Dutch

[atagosraven]

“Wasn’t Holy, Roman, or an Empire” okay Voltaire 😂

[prasadyt]

"And the only part that is interesting today is Russia."

Poland left the chat.

[buddyholly]

Its not a second Russia, its just stupidly translated.
The original name in German is "Preußen", and in the east there is still A LOT of prussian culture left.
But "Prussia" and "Russia" have literally NOTHING in common, except for their random names.

[markusklyver]

This is not really true. Prussia at its greatest extent included much of modern northern Germany.

[sebbog]

We? I did not abolish any european country.

[sllonga]

Ironic. Prusia could save other German-speaking nations from foreign subjugation, but not itself.

[Cadmann]

meanwhile the original Prussians weren't even a Germanic people, they were Balts more closely related to Latvians and Lithuanians

[samueljackson]

Bro went from Minecraft to geography 💀

[Stormoak]

There are numerous historical errors in this clip and this far to common proverb about the qualities of the Holy Roman Empire is the least one.

[noodleppoodle]

You forgot to mention the most important thing. Prussia was an appropriated name - taken over from Baltic tribe of Prussians who inhabited the area of today’s Kaliningrad and Baltic states. German Teutonic order who was invited to the area by Poland to Christinise these lands, overstayed their welcome and founded their own state brining in settlers from Germany. That’s the real story of how the German Prussia came to be.

[Metron_Ariston]

This territory loss reminds me what happened to Greeks in the aftermath of our defeat from the Turks during 1922 and our exile from Minor Asia, after from more than 3000 years of Greek establishment in Anatolia. War is cruel and wrong. Each nation should be more responsible and respectful to the neighbour nations and live in harmony. What happened to Greeks and Germans is not fair, even if Germans provoked this situation throw imperialism and racism. People forcing to leave it's land, is a crime. The same happens again now in Ukraine, with the threat of a nuclear war be real. I wonder why we don't take the lesson history has teached us so many times in the past?

[compatriot]

And that Prussia was previously Baltic before getting colonized by Germans

[npc_code]

Some of the Prussia culture still exist in Germany.
To be on time, be direct, to be exact and love to the military was mainly Prussia attributes. Off course after the second WW the love for the military was gone, some Howe XD
