A powerful European kingdom and later German state that dominated Central Europe from the 1600s until 1947, known for its military strength and discipline.
From the Prussian people who inhabited the Baltic region. The territory evolved from a Crusader state called the Teutonic Order into a kingdom that eventually became the core of the German Empire under Otto von Bismarck.
Prussia was so militarized and efficient that it basically invented the modern army—their goose-step march, rigid discipline, and strategic brilliance under Frederick the Great made them the superpower of 18th-century Europe, influencing military culture worldwide.
