It was mentioned in a book, and I don't know what it is! Is it a country? Or like a combination of Russia and. . . something else?

Please explain to me what Prussia is. I have never heard of it.
Ahh you're giving me all different answers! I'm so confused.
 
Modern day- just south of lithuainia is a a small country owned by russia that is moderen day prussia. It is deteched from all of russia.
 
It was a country in its own right beginning about 1700. In 1871 the many German states were unified and Prussia constituted the largest area under the new country of Germany.
The militarism of Prussia was the chief impetus for the militantism associated with Germany as a whole as it fought the French in the Franco-Prussian War (of abt 1870), then World War I, and even World War II.
 
Germany, Poland, and some Russia.
The question should be, What WAS Prussia? It doesn't exist anymore.
