	History of Friedrich II by Thomas Carlyle: THE HOHENZOLLERNS IN BRANDENBURG Chapter 1 KURFURST FRIEDRICH I.
		Friedrich was very patient with them; hoped to prevail by gentle methods.
		Quitzow being settled,--for the country is in military occupation of Friedrich and his allies, and except in some stone castle a man has no chance,--straightway Putlitz or another mutineer, with his drawbridge up, was battered to pieces, and his drawbridge brought slamming down.
		Brandenburg, under the wise Kurfurst it has got, begins in a small degree to be cosmic again, or of the domain of the gods; ceases to be chaotic and a mere cockpit of the devils.

	Brandenburg-Prussia
		Fredrich Wilhelm´s son Friedrich III’s reign 1688-1713 fall in the shadows of both his father’s and his son’s reigns, despite of that it was he who got the emperor’s permission to proclaim himself as king of Prussia 1701 whereby the Brandenburg state changed its name to Prussia.
		Friedrich’s son Friedrich Wilhelm had unlike his father no cultural interests, but he was economical and hardworking and under his reign 1713-1740 the Prussian finances and its agriculture and industry were greatly improved.
		Friedrich Wilhelm’s greatest interest lay however in his army, which was large for a country like Prussia already when he ascended the throne, in spite of that he increased the army from 38 000 men to 83 000 and drilled it so hard so it became the best in Europe.

	WHKMLA : History of Brandenburg, 1415-1517
		Brandenburg administratively was divided in 3 parts - the ALTMARK (to the west of the Elbe), the KURMARK (between Elbe and Oder); the NEUMARK (to the East of the Oder) had been pawned to the Teutonic Order and remained under its rule until 1456.
		For both, Brandenburg was a tool in their dynastic policy to control the Empire (Brandenburg held one of the seven electoral votes); both the nobility and the cities of Brandenburg had become independent-minded; feuds between nobles or between nobles and cities were frequent, the Prince's control over the country questioned.
		Brandenburg, however, required the full attention of her territorial lord; in 1422 a Hussite force invaded Brandenburg, plundering her eastern regions.

This was Friedrich Wilhelm`s thought; and he suddenly marched troops into the Territory, with that view.
		Friedrich Wilhelm`s first actual appearance in War, Polish- Swedish War (1655-1660), was involuntary in the highest degree: forced upon him for the sake of his Preussen, which bade fair to be lost or ruined, without blame of his or its.
		Friedrich Wilhelm starts from Berlin, with the opening Year, on his long march; the Horse-troops first, Foot to follow at their swiftest; he himself (his Wife, his ever-true "Louisa," accompanying, as her wont was) travels, towards the end, at the rate of "sixty miles a day." He gets in still in time, finds Konigsberg unscathed.
