The so-called Prussiar militarism Of

Frederick William established a saw

he built up the finest army in Europe.
His ideal was VIVA. we now know as
universal military service. And more
than this, he worked out the Prussian
idea of disciplining every branch of
the neople's activities and suncrdlnat-

considered supreme A highly eff.
cient officialdom was developed by
him for the administration Of his king
dom.
In 1740 Fre1erick the Great, son of
Frederick William, became king.
BY conquest he at once added west
Prussia and Silesia 10 his realm.
His reign now became one of long
wars against the French, Russians and
Austrians.
In his oftentimes disastrous battles
he was aided at times by the English.
