Is Prussia just a giant meme? They're hailed as a military

Prussia was what happens when autists, who would in modern times be 4chan posters, manage to get a country.

>jerk off to supremacy, military uniforms, penis-helmets and muh war
>get wrecked by some Corsican fuckboi manlet

Chad always wins.

Prussia was what happens when a homosexual fagget who had his lover murdered by his dad gets a country.

So many Africans, Latins, and the International Jewry hating on us Germanics. Pretty funny how we used to rule the world once and we will continue to until we are genocided for not stooping down to their level, or our Asian overlords step it up.

Why are you a Prussiaboo, /his/?

My ancestors were Rhinelanders who had to leave Germany after getting shrekt by the French. I like Prussia because they counter-rekt the French several times afterwards, even though they eventually went full retard and rekt themselves. That and their uniforms were cool.

I usually ally Poland while at the same time working against it as much as I can. As soon as poland gets fucked you stab it in the back and kill it off before it blobs out. if Bohemia stays small and Poland gets fucked after helping you you can form Germany pretty fast.

I actually think Prussia's contributions to culture and philosophy are underrated as fuck. And, of course, they had a top-tier education system and a pretty good bureaucracy.

Prussia acts like the stereotype that Americans assign to German people

>>2265428
They're a state that had every disadvantage against it: shitty land, one of a number of bumfuck HRE states, decimated by the Thirty Years' War, a bunch of other states already either on the ascent or in the prime of their power. But through great leadership and a little bit of luck they were able to quickly build themselves up into one of the premiere powers of Europe, just about lose it all thanks to complacency against one of the greatest military leaders of all time, find their balls and become one of the main contributors to his defeat, then more GOAT political and military maneuvering allows for the unification of Germany. All while also becoming a center and future model for education, modern philosophy and other such pieces of culture.

It's really a shame that Nazis, like usual, ruin everything.

>>2268502
Honestly I'd say there's really only three legit bad rulers in the entirety of Prussia's history: George William, Frederick William II and Wilhelm II. Maybe Frederick William III is arguable but he was going with the military that had been left to him and didn't have the demeanor early on for war but eventually found his way.

Pretty good track record in all honesty.

Isn't it because everybody who lived in Germany and was not Prussian should hate them? Same thing why every tribe is hated by everybody else.

True. But noone as hard and fast as Prussia; especially if you remember that they still were seen as the best military of europe then (and actually had the best military record among the allies during the First Revolutionary War, desu)

Everyone was ready for a showdown of the giants, now that Prussia finally went serious after sitting out the previous two wars and didnt really try in the first, and then it all just collapsed.

>>2266541
Because Prussia was essentially TAXATION country.
Everything was taxed and regulated. EVERYTHING.
Highest taxes per capita in Europe in pretty poor country(prty poor before Prussia steal some Polish clay that was rich and take Danzing that give them full control of Vistula trade).
Before it they countrefit money, extort money from merchants, abducted people to serve in amry. All silly stuff.
It is extremly funny when you see Amerifats Prussiaboo getting high on Prussia when its essentially completly opposition to Freedom TM.

>>2269838
It was mostly because when Prussian army was well drilled it was trained by whip.
Plenty of force drafted Poles, Germans or Lithuanians with no chance to advance and more hate fortheir officers that for enemy.
No wonder they gt PWNed.

>>2266541
Might be that he's referring to the Danish ancestry.

Danes hate Prussians because of the mid 1800's wars.

Prussia most humiliating defeat against the french didn't happen with Napoleon at Iena, it happened in Auerstaedt against Davout, this guy literally shattered the confidence of prussians, it had a huge impact on Prussia and its institution after the Napoleonic era

Everyone think that Napoleon was some sort of ubermensch strategist leading an average army while in reality the french had dozens of brilliant generals like Davout or Lannes and the low level officers were just mercilessly selected battles after battles.

The reality is that Prussia got BTFO by french because the frogs were more modern and battle hardened than them.
They were just superior soldiers after more than a decade on perpetual warfare and the Revolution happened to be the perfect time to bring new things on the field, especially since the Empire was a meritocracy (see a guy like Bernadotte who was a nobody and ended up king of Sweden).

>>2269838

was Prussia getting BTFO'd the only constant in the Napoleonic era?

>>2268519
It's not the fact they lost to Napoleon that's shameful, it's the fact they did in 19 days

Prussia had an outdated army that hadn't fought a real war (or indeed even needed to fight one) in essentially 40 years. The War of the Bavarian Succession was nothing and they only fought a few times during the early part of the Revolutionary wars where, Valmy aside, they won (and then it was another 10 years after that). Meanwhile, by the time the Prussians started getting blown out by the French, the French had been fighting near continuously for 14 years and once the Prussians were able to get back up to date they were one of the key armies in taking down Napolean.

>>2271736
>in the series of wars the absolutely proved that numbers do not win battles or wars but skill and supply do?

Only for the French
Literally every Allied victory in the Sixth and Seventh coalitions were won with numerical advantage (while the French still managed to pull some impressive victories despite being heavily outnumbered)
Fact is that the French were more skilled (enough to win while outnumbered as many battles in the 6th coalition proved), but the sheer scale of the number disdvantage in that war (which was even more unbalanced than the previous one) meant that in the end, numbers prevailed this time
