Between
1792-1797,
the
relationship
between
states
are
dominated
by
armed
conflicts
between
Prussia
in
coalition
with
Austria
and
France.
After
the
Separate
Peace
of
Basel
in
1795
,
Prussia
withdraws
its
troops
from
the
battlefields and furtheron shows a neutral posture towards France.
Finally,
in
1806
,
France
and
Prussia
break
up,
which
escalates
to
become
the
Fourth Coalition War
.
After
Napoleon‘s
victory
over
Prussia
and
after
the
Peace
of
Tilsit
in
1807
,
he
errects
the
Grand
Duchy
of
Warsaw,
which,
among
others,
includes
the
territories
gained
by
Prussia
in
Poland
after
1772
(and
with
that
also
the
Province of Posen).
In
1813
,
Prussia
in
coalition
with
Russia
declares
war
to
France,
which
culminates
in
the
Battle
of
Leipzig
,
leading
to
Napoleon‘s
defeat
and
resignation.
Prussia,
as
a
consequence
of
the
Wiener
Kongress
in
1815
,
regains
Posen
as
a Prussian province, whose borders will remain unchanged until 1919.
The many years of armed conflicts are now followed by centuries of peace.
In
1866
,
in
coalition
with
Italy,
Prussia
starts
the
German
War
against
Austria.
After
its
victory
in
the
Battle
of
Königgrätz,
Prussia becomes the leading power in Germany.
