I just love it when in history small minor states turn into absolute behemoths (Rome from a tribe to an empire , England into the British empire,Prussia from a duchy to a powerful nation then to Germany and so on).

Moscow to Russian empire

Friedrich Wilhelm, the Great Elector, was truly a great man. Some of my Huguenot family was welcomed into Prussia by him and they flourished there. Another very educational video!

Context: although you often present history that goes back far enough that it's difficult to add context, it would help some of us to know what was happening at the same time in other areas. For example, "During this time of war the Vatican had not been built, Mozart was born, London was inhabited by peasants and Vikings were just exploring the coast of North America. Hans Bruegel was just a boy and China had discovered gunpowder."

Hey PDB, that's a very interesting and helpful suggestion. Thank you - I will give it some thought and see how I can incorporate this in my research process.

An amazing video yet again. One funny comment though: At first, when reading the title, and of course knowing it was going to be another great one, couldn't help but chuckle, because the simple title, with just a pinch of context, reminded me when German actor Oliver Masucci, playing Adolph in the movie "Look who's back" (Er ist wieder da) asked the opposite: _"Does Poland still exist?!"._ Cheers and thanks again! Edit: Brutal grammar and semantics mistake fixed.

This channel and its videos are too underrated. I'd watch these videos for all day instead of my history classes. Thank you for sharing this piece of interesting history about Prussia, my favourite country!

I do like my Prussian history

back to the videos i love :) Also, Oscar, the editing of this video compared to the original Prussia serious is amazing! I have enjoyed literally all of your videos but you have taken it up another level or three since the Qing and original Prussia series!!

I get more knowledge than school from your videos. Nice content of your video is fantastic. I admire your deep research and hard work. It is an unforgettable memory for me. But I want to know who is the founder of this amazing channel?

Henry IV said:"Paris is well worth a mass" right before his convertion to Catholicism. I guess Albert of Prussia thought something similar but in his case from Catholicism to Protestantism 🧐

My most favourite part in european History! Thanks for making this video

I thought that you upload the video on Ottoman civil war. But this video is also stunning. Keep it up brother

This was a nicely informative video.

So so interesting, thanks !!

Well done!

These graphics are awesome

Excellent presentation, thank you. I’m sad that senseless entertainment receives millions of votes, an education well, you see the sad reality

Great video! I always wondered how early Germany started out and eventually became an empire. I've enjoyed your current videos on the early history of the Balkans and Eastern Europe. Keep up the great work Oscar! Have you ever considered looking into the history of early India-espically the cult of the Tuggs or thuggs as we call them today? Look foreward to your next episode! Stay safe!😃

Thank you Gary - I am happy you enjoy my work. To be fair India is one of my 'blind spots' when it comes to history. Creating these videos is great because I can move my attention to those blind spots in order to learn about them. Just bought an audiobook on the history of India to become more acquainted with the subject.

Do the Video Benito Mussolini and the March On Rome

My mother was a German speaker living in Breslau she said the area was a wedding gift from one royal family to another how true was this .

By the most nefarious of means, of course. Terrible vassal! 😉 Edit: but seriously, by being quite crafty and shrewd, and taking the opportunity.

9:15 Only one third of that marked territory was Royal Prussia. The rest was Kujawy and Greater Poland.

Would like to know more about Croatia

Already learned this through history matters always good videos though

Topic suggestion: What happened after the Soviet Union tested their nuclear bomb in 1949? Did they announce it? Or did they try to keep it secret? How did the Americans find out?

Can you please do a video about the Russian Revolutions of 1917 (February and October Revolutions)?

Swedish Pommerania was west of Prussian Pommerania, not east of it.

There is one thing I'm confused by. Why was Ducal Prussia the shape it was? Were there rivers that formed natural boundaries?

@kalterverwalter4516

Because the Kingly Prussia Part (sorry German) Rebelled against the Teutonia Order and accepted the Polish King as their ruler. If you want to ready this by yourself search for Prussian Confederation.

Somebody else already wrote a year ago, but yes the War of the Prussian Confederation lead to the borders. Prussia, which had previously been a sizable land owned by the Teutonic Order, was partitioned with Poland annexing the western bits while the eastern bits became a fiefdom or vassal not part of Poland but hierarchically still under the Polish king. Both parts were German, with depending on the specific areas different minority populations such as Kashubians. At no point in time did borders in the area follow "natural boundaries" which is a concept that only became popular much later in time & highly concentrated in France, which sought to find justifications for its wars of annexation eastwards.
