Miracle of the House of Brandenburg

So it ws called. In the sixth year of the Seven Years' War (so 1762), the Russian Tsarina, Elizabeth, died. She was succeeded by the German-born (and obviously pro-German) Peter III. He immediately ended the war with Germany, leaving Russia with no significant gains.

But what if things had went differently? What if, perhaps, Elizabeth survived for another year? Russian Armies already occupied Berlin and much of Prussia. The Prussian Army was defeated and Frederick the Great was on the verge of committing suicide. If she had survived that extra year, would Russia have conquered and annexed all of Prussia? Would it have taken what it alerady had, leaving a rump Prussia? If it had taken the entire nation, how would this affect the rest of history?

Aaaactually, Frderick used that term to refer to the spat between Austrians and Russians that kept them from marching on Berlin after winning the Battle of Kunersdorf. But that just as a nitpick ;)

And no, Russia would not have conquered all of Prussia. Most likely Prussi awould have been severly pummeled. As an idea, probab.ly East Prussia wouldve fallen to Russia, Silesia back to Austria, Magdeburg and Cottbus to Saxony, Pommerania fully to Sweden, the scattered westenr territories near the Rhine to various powers... The Hoihenzollerns wouldve probably only kept a rump Brandenburg, and nothing more. But they wouldnt have been deprieved of that, that wasnt teh style of the time.
