Prussia Ascendant

Pasquale De Marco

Sinopse

In the ever-shifting landscape of 18th-century Europe, Prussia emerged as an unlikely powerhouse, rising from a fragmented mosaic of German states to become a formidable kingdom that would shape the course of history. This captivating book delves into the depths of Prussia's remarkable ascent, exploring the intricate interplay between politics, society, and culture that fueled its transformation.

At the heart of Prussia's rise were its exceptional leaders, a lineage of visionaries and strategists who guided the kingdom through turbulent times. From the Great Elector, Frederick William, who laid the foundation for Prussia's future greatness, to Frederick William I, the Soldier King, who forged a formidable military, and ultimately to Frederick the Great, the enlightened ruler who expanded Prussia's territories and modernized its state and society, these leaders left an indelible mark on the nation's destiny.

Beyond the halls of power, Prussia's rise was shaped by the lives and contributions of its people. The book delves into the agrarian society that formed the backbone of Prussia's economy, the vibrant urban centers that fostered innovation and culture, and the religious beliefs that influenced Prussian identity and governance. By examining these diverse aspects of Prussian society, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of the forces that propelled Prussia's ascent.

The book also sheds light on Prussia's role in the broader European context. It explores Prussia's complex relationship with its neighbors, the challenges it faced during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, and its ultimate triumph in unifying Germany under its leadership in 1871. This narrative highlights Prussia's pivotal role in shaping the political map of Europe and its lasting legacy on the continent.

Through a vivid and engaging narrative, this book offers a fresh perspective on Prussia's rise, capturing the essence of a kingdom that defied expectations and left an enduring mark on history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in European history, the intricacies of nation-building, and the enduring legacy of leadership and societal transformation.

New World Order

H. G. Wells

The New World Order – H.G. Wells. One of the central texts in explaining the psychopathic drive of elitists to enslave the world in a unified empire. H. G. Wells was an insider with a British group tasked with the revival of their once great empire—this time in conjunction with Venetian Black Nobility Khazar bankers (not mentioned this explicitly in the book). Wells evidently grew less sympathetic to their aims as time went on, and published a version of the plans for public consumption in this and other books. Needless to say, the cabal bent on world domination were displeased with Wells’ cavalier candor (perhaps they misjudged him all along), and destroyed nearly all such books.
