+Prussia was an earlier designation for the territory that later became the provinces of [[East Prussia|East Prussia]] (previously Duchy of Prussia or Ducal Prussia) and [[West Prussia|West Prussia]] (previously Polish Prussia or Royal Prussia), and in 1701 the Kingdom of Prussia, ruled by the Hohenzollerns, having originated from the Electorate of [[Brandenburg (Germany)|Brandenburg]].  After [[World War (1914-1918)|World War I]] Prussia became a Free State, and after [[World War (1939-1945) - Germany|World War II]] it was dissolved. In 1914 Prussia consisted of the "old provinces" (acquired before 1866) of East Prussia, West Prussia, Pomerania, [[Poznań Voivodeship (Poland)|Posen]], Brandenburg, [[Saxony|Saxony]], [[Westphalia (Germany)|Westphalia]], and the Rhine Province, and of the "new provinces" (acquired in 1866) of [[Schleswig-Holstein (Germany)|Schleswig-Holstein]], Hanover, and Hessen-Nassau. In 1850 the principalities of Hohenzollern were added. In 1854 the principality of Neuenburg and Valengin (today the Swiss canton of [[Neuchâtel (Switzerland)|Neuchâtel]]) was given up. The rulers were [[Friedrich I, King in Prussia (1657-1713)|Friedrich I]] until 1713, [[Friedrich Wilhelm I, King in Prussia (1688-1740)|Friedrich Wilhelm I]] until 1740, [[Friedrich II, King of Prussia (1712-1786)|Friedrich II]] (the Great) until 1786, [[Friedrich Wilhelm II, King of Prussia (1744-1797)|Friedrich Wilhelm II]] until 1797, [[Friedrich Wilhelm III, King of Prussia (1770-1840)|Friedrich Wilhelm III]] until 1840, [[Friedrich Wilhelm IV, King of Prussia (1795-1861)|Friedrich Wilhelm IV]] until 1861, Wilhelm I until 1888, Friedrich III 1888, and Wilhelm II until 1918.
 In Pomerania, Posen, and Silesia there were no great numbers of Mennonites. Within the other parts of the state the various groups of Mennonites long developed in regional independence of each other, also in relation to the state. Friedrich Wilhelm I took a very different attitude toward the Mennonites in East Prussia than to the Mennonites in [[Krefeld (Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany)|Krefeld]]. Friedrich II granted specific privileges to the settlements in the [[Netzebruch (Poland)|Netzebruch]] in 1765 and to the Mennonites in the East in 1780. In 1830 Friedrich Wilhelm III, after careful preparation, issued a law particularly designed for the Mennonites in the West. But the Order of Cabinet of 1827 concerning the [[Oath|oath]] was valid for the entire state; likewise the elimination of exemption from military service of 1867, the permission granted the old Mennonite families to do noncombatant [[Military Participation|military service]], and in 1874 the law concerning the rights of the Mennonite churches to incorporate.
