Ambassadors of Prussia in Austria
In the 16th century Brandenburg supported the reformation against the will of Vienna and the emperor. Since the 17th century, the Brandenburg electorate has been pursuing a policy of balancing between France and Austria, trying to capture the remnants of their acquisitions. During the Spanish Succession War (1702-1714), the Kingdom of Prussia supported Austria, and gradually moved away from it. Frederick the Great (1740-1786) led a policy extremely hostile towards Vienna until the late 1860s. The French Revolution united the two countries against a common threat. During the Spring of Nations, both countries experienced similar liberal shocks. Prussian Prime Minister Otto von Bismarck has again chosen the hostile course of Austria.
