Friedrich, Oblique

Agenda

To Arms!: Decrease Relationship by a Medium Amount with the empire that has the least amount of Military Units on the map. Increase Relationship by a Small Amount with the empire that has the most amount of Military Units on the map.

Friedrich the Great’s rise to power in militarized Prussia at first seems contradictory. In his youth he was more interested in art and literature than war. Yet upon taking the throne, he revealed a sharp proclivity for military theory and a taste for Prussian aggression. Friedrich vigorously expanded his borders and solidified Prussia’s martial reputation, but never lost his love of the arts, balancing his iron hand with intellectual patronage.
