He is shown as a wild country who is always involved in wars in order to gain power and has a fondness for agitating Austria, which causes him to be attacked by Hungary even in the modern day.
Summon the soldiers, they must be re-taken immediately!The phrase "vital regions" is a euphemism for the province of Silesia, which was acquired by the Kingdom of Prussia in 1741 during the War of the Austrian Succession.
