Frederick the Great

Many people know that in 1761, during the Seven Years' War, Russian troops entered Berlin. Less well-known is the fact that three great European powers were fighting against little Prussia at the time and were never able to defeat it. The main reason for their failure, contemporaries considered the personality of the Prussian king Frederick II, whom German historians later called the Great. An enlightened monarch who corresponded with Voltaire, an outstanding commander and a talented statesman, Frederick spent almost half a century on the throne. During this time, Prussia turned from a small German principality into one of the great European powers. How did Friedrich manage to achieve this in a far from favorable international situation? A biographical essay, written by one of the most prominent German historians, provides an answer to this question.
