Synopsis

In 1415, the Margraviate of Brandenburg, forerunner of the Kingdom of Prussia, was still the most insignificant of the Holy Roman Empire’s electorates. On the eve of the First World War, 500 years later, it had risen to become a European power vying for global supremacy. How did it achieve this, step by step? During its rise, Prussia suffered four periods of decline and even faced the threat of extinction. Yet at pivotal moments in history, great figures emerged: the Great Elector, Frederick the Great, Stein, Scharnhorst, and Bismarck. How did they turn the tide and change the nation’s fate? Prussia’s 500-year rise was also the story of the Hohenzollern family’s struggle. What did this ruling dynasty do to keep Prussia rising? These questions and more are compellingly answered in The Rise of an Empire: From Prussia to Germany, a classic work coauthored by renowned British historians John Marriott, a modern history tutor at Oxford University, and Grant Robertson.
