The characteristics of Prussia.

Prussia is a brave country, where the strength of the civil class is very weak. On the one hand, due to the destruction of the war, the development of workshops and handicrafts is slow, accounting for less than 65,438+00% of the total national economy, and their market largely depends on the living consumption of feudal princes and nobles and the expenditure of government troops. On the other hand, when Britain and France had overcome the traditional shackles of guilds at the end of 65,438+08, German handicrafts were still controlled by guilds.
