Prussian nationalism
Prussian nationalism was the
Hohenzollern dynasty that was initiated with the merger of Brandenburg with East Prussia in the 16th century followed later by the incorporation of West Prussia, Pomerania, Silesia, and large portions of the Rhineland and Westphalia by the 19th century.[1] Prussian nationalism has ceased with Prussia becoming non-existent in post-World War II
period.
Prussian nationalism was influential in several military conflicts: the
King of Prussia. The state of Germany as manifested in the German Empire created by the Prussian government of Otto von Bismarck, drew criticisms by German nationalists like Konstantin Franz who accused Bismarck of creating a federal state based on Prussian nationalist goals and a deviation from German nationalism.[3]
