IJzeren Koninkrijk: opkomst en ondergang van Pruisen 1600-1947

The narrative covers over 300 years of history—I'm curious how he chose what to focus on and what to leave out. Did he have a particular story or theme in mind?

The way Prussia's history reflects modern ideas of nationalism and power dynamics made me wonder if Clark intended these parallels or if they emerged naturally.

Prussia often feels like a lesser-known chapter compared to other European powers, so I wonder what motivated Clark to explore this specific kingdom so in-depth.
