Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on the early modern era with a video on the history of Prussia. How did a small, divided duchy on the edge of the Holy Roman Empire rise to become the military powerhouse that unified Germany? This video tells the full story of Prussia’s rise, from its early struggles to the sweeping victories that changed Europe forever. We follow the journey through wars, reforms, and power plays led by key figures like Frederick William the Great Elector, Frederick the Great, and Otto von Bismarck. Major battles such as Küstrin, Warsaw, Zorndorf, and Leuthen show how Prussia earned its reputation for discipline and innovation. But not every fight was a triumph — defeats like Kunersdorf and the disaster at Jena-Auerstedt forced painful lessons that shaped the future Prussian army. The story builds toward the Wars of German Unification, where Bismarck’s political genius and Prussia’s battlefield dominance came together at Königgrätz, Gravelotte, and the decisive Battle of Sedan. These victories weren’t just military wins — they redrew the map of Europe. Along the way, we explore how the Prussian state evolved: its rulers, its army, and the social reforms that followed. From the Treaty of Schönbrunn to the Treaty of Prague, this is a deep dive into the wars and diplomacy that created modern Germany.

The video was made by Lito Areta and Antoni Kameran, while the script was developed by Turgut Gambar and Jonathan Woody, the video was narrated by Officially Devin ( & )
