The Reign of Frederick William I & Frederick the Great

The Kingdom of Prussia was officially established in 1701 by Frederick III, the elector of the Hohenzollern dynasty. He called himself Frederick, and I called himself "King of Prussia" rather than "King of Prussia." It crosses the European Continent and continues from the Prussian Principality of 750 miles to the Baltic Sea until the Hohenzollern dynasty of Brandenburg.

Frederick was born in Hohenzollern House, born on 24th January 1712 by Prussia Frederick William I and Prince Sophia Dorothy of England George II. The couple is not a stranger, but is enjoying a political marriage. Frederick William is authoritarian, sick, Sophia is well educated and loves a rich life. Unlike all aspects, Frederick's parents tried to raise themselves if they were completely different images. In Frederick's childhood, his mother brought him a treasure of enlightenment a lot. He spent his early years as a leader, learning poetry, French culture, and Greek and Roman classics. However, his father was dissatisfied with these ideas, educated his son, advised how to manage and protect the country. When he became an adult, Frederick was forced to join the army and began the process of military science and governance.

In 1740, Frederick the Great (Frederick II) began his reign of 46 years. He is a wise prince who once visited a thinker of thinking like Moses Mendelssohn. By 1755, the population reached 100,000, including 26,000 soldiers. Under the rule of Frederick William II, he stagnated and he did not help enlightenment in 1786-97, but developed an innovative technique to review and suppress political enemies. 1848: Like other European cities, 1848 was the revolutionary year of Berlin. Frederick William IV (1840-1861) successfully oppressed the revolution. One of his reactions was to increase income conditions to participate in the election. And it resulted that only 5% of the people can vote. This system will last until 1918

After the death of Frederick William I in 1740, his son and successor took the throne, achieved amazingly surprising military victory, and strengthened the role of Prussia as European power. Frederic II later became "great" and succeeded in combining his military power with the French ideals he absorbed through his education and established a model of dictatorship enlightened in Europe. But like many great leaders, Frederick II is contradictory. Among his many books written in French, he accused Niccolò Machiavelli, which Frederick severely criticized the cynical strategy of the 16th century Italian writer to exploit his power. However, Frederick II is not without the utility of Machiavelli. Although he loves French poetry and art, he did not avoid militarism in order to strengthen Prussia he inherited from his father.
