Del Prado SNC034 Officer, Prussian Normal Hussars, 1811
Prussia's most celebrated ruler in the 18th century was Frederick II, known to posterity as Frederick the Great (1713-86). It was Frederick who bequeathed to Prussia a culture of militaristic order with which it is still associated. Having won Silesia from the Austrians in 1740 Frederick then acquired part of Poland in 1772, which was renamed West Prussia, enabling him to link up all Poland's Baltic states from the Duchy of Prussia in the East to Pomerania and Brandenburg in the west. Yet more of Poland was added to Prussian territory by Fredericks successor, Frederick William II, during the second and third partitions of Poland in 1793 and 1796.
