Why does this article end in 1815? john 04:54, 7 Feb 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Prussia lasted until 1933

It was no kingdom after 1918, but it was the largest state in Germany.

[edit] Kingdom of Prussia and Prussia

Why do this article and Prussia act as though they aren't aware of each other's existence? This should probably be merged, or turned into a brief article about the political unit. john k 22:21, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

One solution is to make Prussia a disambiguation page. Space Cadet 01:20, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I don't think Prussia should be a disambiguation page. What's wrong with the current Prussia article? It's certainly far better than this article. Are you suggesting that we split the contents of Prussia between the disambiguation article, Kingdom of Prussia and something like Free State of Prussia? I would oppose this. To me, it makes more sense to just merge Kingdom of Prussia into Prussia and save any useful stuff from the former. john k 05:15, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I would second this last opinion. Let's canibalize the "Kingdom of Prussia" article in favour of "Prussia"!Pelagus 17:31, 16 May 2006 (UTC)


I disagree. "Prussia" means many different things throughout Wikipedia (which can easily be seen by seeing what links to the article):

I am of the opinion that Prussia should be a significantly shortened semi-disambiguation page (as it was before this edit) briefly describing the historical evolution of "Prussia", while detail should go into the relevant articles. I think that the Prussia article was too detailed even before the recent changes to it. Another suggestion would be to have Prussia as a disambiguation page, have History of Prussia (currently a redirect) be a relatively short summary page (shorter than History of England), and then have the aforementioned individual articles describing Prussia's history at specific time periods in a "History of Prussia" series.
