Talk:Prussia/Archive 1

message: 'East Prussia' as the Wikipedia article states dates Prussia back to the 14th Century. Dating Prussia to 1701 should be only referenced to the first King of Prussia and have no relevance to Prussia itself as Prussia goes farther back than the germanic Kings of Prussia as it becomes Kaliningrad Pussia as the Kingdom of Prussia. This is what is known on Wikipedia.
What is NOT KNOWN on Wikipedia is:
1. Prussia dates back to 1400 B.C. as the "old continent"
2. Ukraine was the first developed country under the continent Prussia
3. Prussia was the territorial claims by the inhabited "slavs" to mark territorial borders away from "the middle east"
4. Prussian was the first launguage of the slavic dialect "broken words"
5. Prussians was slang for outcasts of the "ancient middle east" of mesopotamia

thread_title: File:Max Liebermann Bildnis Otto Braun 1932.jpg Nominated for Deletion

message: Paragraphs 3 & 4 (of 6) appear to say Nazis rising out of Prussia and needs to be sourced or removed. It looks like an article attack since Hitler was Roman Catholic and came to power on a vote of the Catholic Centre Party following the 1932 Prussian Coup by the Roman Catholic Van Papen. The Catholic Centre Party were at odds with the Protestan German factions, according to that page and the demographics at the time. Gives a contradictory account is all.69.179.107.207 (talk) 17:45, 14 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The article does not say or hint or suggest the Nazi party was formed in prussia; it emphasizes the strength of non-Nazi parties in Prussia.  Hitler's Nazi party was opposed at election time by the catholic Centre party. Rjensen (talk) 23:13, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Prussia in the Weimar Republic

message: I think the two articles should be merged. It would be easy to make the (unimportant) distinction between the two kinds of Prussia within the same articlePrincetoniac (talk) 22:00, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The distinction is not "unimportant". Initially Prussia was the name of a region, later devided in the Western Royal Prussia and the eastern Ducal Prussia. Ducal Prussia would become the Kingdom of Prussia in 1701 and while the Kingdom perished in 1918, Prussia remained the largest State of Weimar Germany. No, we shouldn't merge Prussia and the Kingdom of Prussia. HerkusMonte (talk) 07:37, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Simplicity 

message: "Suum cuique ("to each, his own"), the motto of the Order of the Black Eagle created by King Frederick I in 1701, was often associated with the whole of Prussia."
This seems to be a remarkably laissez-faire attitude for a king to adopt as his order's motto. Why did he do so? What about Prussia caused it to adopt that motto, too? Just leaving that sentence dangling there is so unsatisfying! Thank you, Wordreader (talk) 17:06, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
