	Thirteen Years' War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kashubians, Poles, Germans, and Prussians were slowly melting into one nation, and as national differences disappeared, the common goals of all the ethnic and social groups of Prussia became more prominent.
		Noblemen, angered by the disruption of the harvest and the unconventional form of the call, massed near the village of Cerekwica and demanded from the king several privileges, which were granted in the privilege of Cerekwica September 14, 1454.
		The last East Prussian city loyal to the Polish king, Kneiphof, was taken after a long siege by Teutonic knights commanded by Heinrich Reuss von Plauen the Elder on June 14, 1455.

	CHAPTER VII. - DEATH OF PITT, TO THE PEACE OF TILSIT.
		The Prussian State was overthrown; its territory as far as the Vistula lay at the mercy of the invader; its King was a fugitive at Koenigsberg, at the eastern extremity of his dominions.
		The scene of hostilities was henceforward in Prussian Poland and in the Baltic Province lying between the lower Vistula and the Russian frontier.
		The unfortunate Prussian State, reduced to half its former extent, devastated and impoverished by war, and burdened with the support of a French army, found in the crisis of its ruin the beginning of a worthier national life.

	CHAPTER XI. - WAR OF LIBERATION, TO THE PEACE OF PARIS.
		Though the Prussian nation entered upon the conflict in the most determined spirit, a war on the Elbe against Russia and Prussia combined was a less desperate venture than a war with Russia alone beyond the Niemen.
		It was accordingly determined to unite all the divisions of the army with Bluecher on the west of Leipzig, and to attack the French as soon as they descended from the hilly country of the Saale, and began their march across the Saxon plain.
		The Prussian troops which had hitherto taken part in the war were not the third part of those which the Government was arming; new Russian divisions were on the march from Poland.

	JCS REFORM:
		To understand the essence of the Prussian general staff, it is necessary to look at its origin in the Scharnhorst reforms that followed Prussia's disastrous defeat by Napoleon in 1806.
		The second major characteristic of the Prussian general staff was that once an officer was accepted by the general staff, he was a general staff officer for life.
		Prussian general staff officers were generally men of strong character, and if this meant that a good number of them were also somewhat eccentric, that was no handicap.

	Confederacy of Dunces
		A new system of schooling was the instrument out of which Prussian vengeance was shaped, a system that reduced human beings during their malleable years to reliable machine parts, human machinery dependent upon the state for its mission and purpose.
		Prussian education was the national obsession among American political leaders, industrialists, clergy, and university people.
		The domination of Prussian vision, and the general domination of German philosophy and pedagogy, was a fait accompli among the leadership of American schooling.

	Brief History of Empires Earth
		Superior Prussian military organization led to a series of crushing defeats over the armies of the other German states, culminating in the occupation of the Austrian province of Bohemia in September of 1866.

	The Origins of Nazism - Mises Institute (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The Prussian myth, which the Prussian historians of the nineteenth century fashioned with a bold disregard of facts, would have us believe that Frederick II was viewed by his contemporaries as they themselves represent him—as the champion of Germany's greatness, protagonist in Germany's rise to unity and power, the nation's hero.
		The Prussian Army which fought in the battles of Leipzig and Waterloo was very different from the army which Frederick William I had organized and which Frederick II had commanded in three great wars.
		The Prussian Army of the eighteenth century was composed of men pressed into service, brutally drilled by flogging, and held together by a barbaric discipline.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Centre Party
		A predecessor of both parties is found in the Catholic Party in the Prussian Chamber of Deputies, which in 1859 had adopted the name of the "Party of the Centre".
		In view of the hostile attitude of the Prussian Government towards the Church (the Raumer Decrees) this party was formed in 1852 for the defence of the freedom guaranteed in the Constitution and of the independence of the Church.
		Of the 397 members of the German Reichstag, the Centre claimed 63 in 1871; 93 in 1877; 94 in 1878; 100 in 1881; 99 in 1884; 98 in 1887; 106 in 1890; 96 in 1893; 102 in 1898; 100 in 1903; 109 in 1907; 92 in 1912.

		Essentially, the Prussian General Staff realized early on that in order to have access to the lucrative and nascent coal-gas industry cropping up in lower Texas and Mexico, Prussia would, somehow, have to strike a strategic blow to neutralize America's reaction to the crisis of seizing the coal-gas fields.
		The artificially-augmented Prussian invasion forces will do well against a conventional force, but they are insufficient in number to take and hold large portions of the USA without a drain on Prussian manpower that would threaten Prussia's holdings overseas.
		The townsmen officially (and rather bluntly) informed the next Prussian official to enter then county that he was officially standing on the sovereign terrain of of the Republic of Texas, and he would have to leave forthwith or be shot.

	The 1st National Flag of the Confederacy
		Although this design was used by several southern states and became a southern symbol, it was never officially adopted by the Confederacy as a whole.
		There is no propriety in retaining the ensign of a government which, in the opinion of the States comprising this Confederacy, had become so oppressive and injurious to their interests as to require their separation from it.
		The result was that the so-called First National Flag was never officially adopted as the flag of the Confederacy by a full Congressional vote in a formal 'flag act' or bill.

	The Rising Challengers (1851-1870)
		By the early 1860's, the Prussian noble Otto von Bismarck had emerged as perhaps the leading non-royal politician in Prussia, through his advocacy of a ruthless policy of expanding Prussian power inside the German Confederation at the expense of competing powers.
		Prussia under Bismarck then claimed Austrian interference in Prussian Schleswig, and prepared for a war against Austria, which in turn could afford to suffer a second victory at the hands of an upstart kingdom.
		As the United States Civil War entered a new phase in early 1862, with the advance of the Confederate armies upon the free and Francophone state of Louisiana, Napoléon III announced the intervention of France alongside the Union February.

	Excerpt from Book "Mobile, 1865: Last Stand of the Confederacy"
		A veteran of the Prussian Army, Von Sheliha at times could be caustic and ill-tempered; he often complained of a "chronic disease of the liver." But he was a highly competent chief engineer, a keen observer of military and social affairs, with an impressive command of the English language.
		Von Sheliha proved to be a hardworking and attentive officer, but the choleric Prussian lost patience with the burdensome problems that faced him.
		He contended that his engineers were not to blame for the loss of the forts, for they had "ever worked faithfully and judiciously." He offered his resignation and made plans to return to Europe with his wife, but Maury refused to accept it.

	Confederate Defensive Strategy (Essay)
		Note from the Author: This essay pertains to the defensive strategy employed by the Confederacy in the late war of rebellion.
		There can be no doubt that Prussian General Carl Von Clausewitz or French General Antoine Jomini would not have endorsed the evolved defensive strategy of the Confederacy.
		Had the Confederacy employed the space and time defense against General Sherman's invasion, it is quite probable that the fall of Atlanta would have at the very least been delayed.

	How France's Greatest Military Hero Became a Prussian Lieutenant-General, by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. (Sep. 20, 1998)
		[13] The direct documentation that Carnot was given the rank of Lieutenant-General in the Prussian army was destroyed by the Allied bombardment of Magdeburg in spring 1945; however, there are a number of indications that this was the case.
		It was Schiller's studies which formed the kernel of the war-plan devised by the Prussian reformers for the 1812 Russia campaign against Napoleon.
		It was the intervention with the Prussian commander Yorck, by von Clausewitz, which was crucial for launching the ensuing developments leading to Napoleon's fall from power.

	Lincoln and Bismarck; Enemies of Liberalism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Otto von Bismarck sprang from a long line of Prussian Junker landowners, and he identified with the Junker's disdain for the emerging industrial society in Germany, with its liberal ideas of individualism and opposition to feudal privilege and monarchical absolutism.
		The Congress realized that Lincoln's new army was intended for use as a domestic weapon of suppression and intimidation of dissenters, just as the Prussian liberals realized as they fought Bismarck and the king as to who would control the army in Prussia--the people, through their representatives, or the old establishment.
		He paid special attention to his own office; indeed, the entire constitution was designed with one aim in mind: preserving Bismarck's unchallenged sway over the Prussian king and new German emperor, on the one hand, and the people and especially the liberal German intellectuals on the other.
