Brandenburg-Prussia

Brandenburg-Prussia was a powerful German state in northern Europe from the 17th to the early 19th century. It began as a duchy and became a kingdom under the Hohenzollern family, who ruled both the Principality of Brandenburg and the Duchy of Prussia. This union laid the foundation for the Kingdom of Prussia, a major military and political power in Europe. Brandenburg-Prussia was known for its strong army, efficient government, and expanding territory, eventually playing a key role in German unification and European affairs. It evolved into a crucial part of modern Germany.
