The german crusaders simply destroyed old prussians and stole their land.
The prussians were always considered to have been a baltic tribe, not germanic.
Even later, prussian territory was only a small part of the Kingdom Of Prussia and the German Empire.

Because the Junkers were really good at war
>>2903988
Are you implying that the Kingdom Of Prussia named itself to honor old prussians as valiant combatants?
>>2904023
Where the fuck did you get that idea? it wasn't even officially called the Kingdom of Prussia, the title was King IN Prussia because the HRE was fucking autistic about kingdoms
>>2904038
I don't know, you just gave a vague reply. As you can probably assume, I don't know much about this topic and that's why I'm asking. And even if it wasn't officially named Prussia, for some reason, germans have, throughout history, claimed that Prussia is german soil. That is what baffles me.

Germans bred out the balts, they don't exist as an ethnicity anymore, when Brandenburg and Prussia merged it was majority a Germanic country built on war that continued that to unite Germany
>>2904092
Ah, gotcha. Gonna need to check up on the "unite germany" part, because as far as I know, didn't Wilhelm and Bismarck, two non-prussians, the ones who united the germanic peoples?
>>2904106
You sound like a Slav shit with an agenda
>>2904106
Both of them were members of the Junker class
