Answer 2

Frederick the Great ruled Prussia from 1740 to 1786. He is sometimes underestimated. Frederick was an Enlightenment figure, who practiced religious toleration, caused Prussia to become much more powerful, and efficiently and ably ruled over his subjects. He instituted large agricultural and industrial reform. He lessened serfdom. Frederick could play the flute and wrote. Voltaire was at his court, until he left over a disagreement.

Therefore, Frederick was a capable enlightened despot. He had still greater fame as a general. He led Prussia, against great odds personally in battle, to victories in The War of the Austrian Succession and Seven Year's War.

Answer 3

Frederick II (German: Friedrich II.; January 24, 1712 – August 17, 1786) was a King of Prussia (1740–1786) and an enlightened monarch of the Hohenzollern dynasty. Frederick was the third and last "King in Prussia"; beginning in 1772 he used the title "King of Prussia". In his role as as a prince-elector of the Holy Roman Empire, he was Frederick IV (Friedrich IV.) of Brandenburg. He became known as Frederick the Great (Friedrich der Große) and was nicknamed der alte Fritz ("Old Fritz").

Interested primarily in the arts during his youth, Frederick unsuccessfully attempted to flee from his authoritarian father, the "Soldier-King" Frederick William I, after which he was forced to watch the execution of a childhood friend. Upon ascending to the Prussian throne, he attacked Austria and claimed Silesia during the Silesian Wars, winning military acclaim for himself and Prussia. Near the end of his life, Frederick united most of his disconnected realm through the First Partition of Poland.

As an enlightened monarch, Frederick patronized writers and philosophers such as Voltaire and Immanuel Kant. He modernized the Prussian bureaucracy and civil service and promoted religious toleration throughout his realm. Frederick is buried at his favorite residence, Sanssouci in Potsdam. He was succeeded by his nephew, Frederick William II of Prussia.
