Person: Friedrich der Große, Der Alte Fritz; King Friedrich II., Prussia Hohenzollern (1712 Berlin - 1768 Potsdam) Frederick II or Frederick the Great, popularly known as "Old Fritz", was King of Prussia from 1740, King of Prussia from 1772 and Margrave of Brandenburg from 1740, making him one of the electors of the Holy Roman Empire. He came from the Hohenzollern dynasty. The three Silesian Wars he waged against Austria over the possession of Silesia led to German dualism. After the last of these wars, the Seven Years' War from 1756 to 1763, Prussia was recognised as the fifth great power in the European pentarchy alongside France, Great Britain, Austria and Russia. Frederick is regarded as a representative of enlightened absolutism. He described himself as the "first servant of the state". He implemented far-reaching social reforms, abolished torture and pushed for the expansion of the education system.
