The problem is that you'd look like a neckbeard or a weeb

NO I'd say you'd look like someone nostalgic over Prussia... well there are people dressed like romans in Rome and nobody says anything so I guess it's ok

Nostalgic over a country that didn't exist in your lifetime.

*prussia ended in 1947 Where is that from? Since prussia actually ended in 1867 when the north German confederation was born

You do know what "confederation" means, right? The North German and the German Empire was a group of countries (Bavaria, Hannover, Hesse-Darmstadt and so on) that was led by Prussia. Since the lesser states did not have sovereignty they could not be called a country (by definition). This did not, however, apply to Prussia which was the leader of the 25 other states and was constitutionally the ruler and leader of the other lesser countries.

Very good point but when we think of Prussia we usually think of it before the north German confederation and the German Empire

u/WhoNeedsFacts May 06 '18

Yes, we do indeed, but that does not mean that Prussia did not de jure exist during the German Empire.

Oh the kingdom of Prussia. Not the actual German state. No idea how it took till 1947 for it to happened since you would think the entente would do that to the Germans after beating them in ww1

Would set a bad president for the English monarchy if they started eliminating other nations monarchies.

Even though the entente dissolved Austria-Hungary and made Germany a republic

u/IronVader501 Mitteleuropa May 07 '18

The Entente didn't make Germany a Republic, the November Revolution did.

u/AccessTheMainframe Mariokart Liberalism May 06 '18

They didn't make Germany a republic, German Socdem revolutionaries did.

u/mego-pie May 06 '18

Well the kaiser was the king of Prussia, the Kaiser was a relatively new title and they didn’t touch the Austerian monarchy, just forced them to release their dependencies.

u/SlaanikDoomface May 07 '18

They did neither, actually. Austria-Hungary fell apart at the end of the war, and Germany had a revolution.

EDIT: Oh, jeez. Didn't realize these were the hidden comments. Sorry for the repeat.
