Prussia, once a powerful and influential German state, traces its origins back to 1525, when it began as a duchy focused on the region near the southeast coast of the Baltic Sea. Over the centuries, it would grow to play a pivotal role in European history, especially through its military and political influence. Prussia was formally dissolved in 1947 by a decision from the Allies, though its disbandment began much earlier in 1932 when German Chancellor Franz von Papen issued an emergency order transferring the powers of the Prussian government to the central state. The state had been slowly losing its autonomy for years before that, following the turbulent events of the early 20th century. At the height of its power, Prussia was ruled by the House of Hohenzollern, a royal family that presided over its expansive territories and built a military machine renowned for its discipline and effectiveness. Prussia's capital was initially Königsberg, but in 1701, it became Berlin when Prussia elevated itself to the status of a kingdom. Over the years, the Kingdom of Prussia became a major player in European affairs, with its well-organized army enabling it to extend its borders and influence across the continent.
