Explain how Frederick I and Frederick William I were able to enhance Prussia's reputation in

History
1 answer:
MAXImum [283]2 years ago

Prussia was a strange little country. For most of its life, it was all split up. Ducal Prussia in the East was held by the Elector of Brandenburg, while royal Prussia in the West was part of Poland. By the beginning of the 18th century, the Hohenzollern family held firm control over both Brandenburg and Ducal Prussia, but it was always seeking to expand and collect more territory. In 1701, Elector Frederick III received the title 'King in Prussia' as a reward for helping the Holy Roman Emperor and Austrian ruler Leopold I, and the Kingdom of Prussia officially began.

Over the next several decades, Prussia grew in power, politically and militarily. The next king, Frederick William I, who reigned from 1713 to 1740, built up a massive army. He started out with about 38,000 soldiers in 1713, but by the time of his death, Prussia was a military powerhouse with over 80,000 well-trained soldiers.

The king's successor, Frederick II, at first seemed unlikely to make good use of all that military might. The new king styled himself as an 'enlightened' monarch. He studied the ideas of the Enlightenment, wrote essays on political philosophy, played and composed music and patronized the arts. Frederick II, however, was no wimp. He had an aggressive side, as we shall soon see.

Why did the Spartans emphasis military training
vlada-n [284]
The Spartans emphasized military training because in general, they were a nation of soldiers. They were built and raised as warriors because the Spartans prided themselves as heroes that were extremely strong and extremely fierce in battle. Because of their strong military background, they developed a military culture that was brought down to each of the descendants of Sparta. Even since birth, Spartans already learned the ways of the warrior.

Explain one social change in Africa that resulted from the atlantic slave trade
topjm [15]

The negative impact of the international slave trade on Africa was immense. It can be seen on the personal, family, communal, and continental levels. In addition to the millions of able-bodied individuals captured and transported, the death toll and the economic and environmental destruction resulting from wars and slave raids were startlingly high. In the famines that followed military actions, the old and very young were often killed or left to starve.
