Description

I was ask by :iconimaginaria2: to draw Prussia after she saw my Bavaria drawing [link]
I draw Prussia with his chick passing the Prussian eagle statue in front of the Neues Palais (Prussia royal palace). Prussia salute the statue on the mission to spread Prussia influence in Europe. Behind Prussia is Germania, the symbolization of Germany unity. So what’s Prussia doing is one step to unite Germany. The statue have a relief script “Eisen und Blut” or “Iron and Blood” so the path of unification of Germany by Prussia is by war. Behind of the statue there’s “3 Friedrich”.
“3 Friedrich” is the kings who gave huge influence on the course of history of Prussia. On the left is the King Friedrich I, although a weak ruler he’s manage to upgrade Prussia’s status from Electorate to Kingdom in 1701. Hence the monogram of the Prussian eagle coat of arms derive from him (FR- Fredericus Rex). At that time Prussia was the only kingdom in Germany, the other …. was Austria or could I say Holy Roman Empire. On the middle is the second Friedrich. He’s successfully spreading Prussia hegemony and increasing Prussia territory in two wars (war of Austrian succession and 7 years war), hence he was given an honorary title “der grosse” (the great). Also because of these war, Austria had no longer a strong influence on Germany. The last one is king friedrich III or well known as Kaiser Friedrich III of German Empire. Although he’s a capable military strategist (as seen in the war of Austro-Prussia and the war against France), he abhorred war. He’s a liberal minded monarch whose aim was to democratized and liberalized Prussia. He with his consort (Victoria Princess Royal of Great Britain) planned to rule Germany like the Great Britain monarch (if this came true maybe German Empire would became a land super power in Europe maybe in the world! Powerful in military, economy, science, and politically also diplomacy). But before he could implement his idea, he was already passed away. Friedrich III rule Prussia and German Empire only for 99 days. Hence the death of Kaiser Friedrich mark the beginning of the end for the German Empire and all of the Germany monarchies including Prussia. Because his son, Wilhelm II would led Germany into World War I.
I don’t know if this drawing is right. If there’s mistake, forgive me please. And the eagle statue is from my old deviation. I know nothing about hetalia though. I’m just a Prussian / German Empire amateur historian. :D
I also draw Germania based from Kika's Suikoden 4.

:iconarminius1871: : Thanks for the language assistance! :w00t:
