Two manuscripts in one book:History of Prussia: A Captivating Guide to the Kingdom of Prussia and Its Role in the Napoleonic Wars, Franco-Prussian War, and Unification of Germany in 1871 The Franco-Prussian War: A Captivating Guide to the War of 1870 between the French Empire and German States and the Role Otto von Bismarck Played in the Unification of Germany This book 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 overcome 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. Along the way, you will be introduced with how the Prussian state, society, and culture changed over time, transforming from a medieval feudal country into a modern industrial empire. This book will also show how a local Prussian identity, coming from a place of humility, evolved and grew into a proud nation and a bulwark of German identity and nation. Finally, this guide will show you the exciting tale of how Prussia gathered enough strength to achieve the unification of German lands into a single nation-state through a series of wars and bold politics and machinations. Through all of this, you will learn what set the course of German history that would be so impactful on the 20th century.
