Prussia was briefly a power in central Europe before the Russian Empire razed berlin in the 7 Years War. This destruction of the baltic state meant Sweden was allowed Swedish Pomerania back (+a bit more) so long as Russia was allowed to use some of its ports. Sweden then went onto conquer Denmark-Norway and more properly integrate pomerania into their second empire, which itself went onto colonize places like Korea, Ceylon and some of indonesia (yoinked from the dutch while they helped Saxony later) and the Horn of Africa and some of the land north of the kongo.
Meanwhile central Europe, by which I mean the HRE, saw Saxony rise to prominence once more, going onto unite Germany, from Bavaria to the Netherlands, with help from Sweden, though they fell out because the new german state wanted some of Sweden's continental possessions, despite them not really being german anymore
But let's say Prussia survives the 7YW, how strong can we get it? Could it become a colonial great power, like Sweden did using its men and women? A land power that conquers the PLC?
