Its often forgotten that, in the late 17th and 18th centuries, the Electors of Brandenburg/Dukes of Prussia managed to make themselves a world power, culminating with Elector Frederick William, who managed to get himself recognized as "King in Prussia", giving the Prussian Hohenzollerans the same status as other European royalty.
