The Kingdom of Prussia is a nation-state in north-central Europe, along the Baltic coast. It once held large areas of territory in Germany, but lost them to the French in the First European War. In the process, the capital moved from Berlin, where it could be easily surrounded by the French, to Königsberg, where it would be safer. The King would abdicate shortly afterwards, in 1865.
