I am FREDERICK THE GREAT, the ruler of my country, Prussia. I consider myself a sure enough nonchalant man. I love poetry, reading and writing it. I'm also a musician; i learned how to play the piano and the flute. Gottfried Silbermann is LIFE, He made the most elegant instruments I've ever seen. At first I wasn't up to taking the throne from my father, but he was a pretty strict and very persuasive man ( he beheaded my best-friend because I refused the throne), so, I took the throne before it was off with my head! LOL....:(
During my reign, I wanted to make sure everyone felt accepted, so I encouraged religious tolerance and acceptance for all to be loved. As a king, I thought that a ruler should be a like a father to his people, to gain their trust, love and loyalty. During reign I created a strong standing army, I was astonishing!
Major events that happened while I reigned, were increasing territory for Prussia and producing a strong military power. I also started a Seven Year War with Austria. The reason why my sister's country and my country went into war is because Great Britain and I (Prussia) invaded Saxony after I recently gained control of Silesia. Well, so Austria, Russia and France tried to claim back Austria's land, and during that whole war, I lost, then gained, then lost territory. Although I didn't gain any territory, I still got to keep Silesia, I gained popularity between the Germain speaking territories.
