Dear Journal,
The West of the World has come to much disaster! Through Europe, countries have been fighting with each other over land. The people of Europe are starting to migrate and move away from the catastrophes. Many craftsmen are sailing to the U.S. due to the modern industrialization and technology. Imperialism has been growing significantly due to the nationalism within countries. We Prussia, have worked together and stayed together. As rule I see what is best for the people of Prussia and what they want. I will not let any single human be in any kind of danger during this crazy time.
Until next time,
Your Loyal Leader

Prussia's Involvement in World War I (Chapter 27)
Dear Journal,
As you know by now, Prussia is no longer its own country. After the Franco-Prussian War in 1871, we became one unified German nation under King William I of Prussia. Under Bismark, we Prussians are dominating the new empire and are the leading state in the German Empire. Because we are a German state, we are forced to accept all German military alliances, making us a part of the Central Powers. We have obtained Alsace-Lorraine from France and our power as an imperialistic country is growing.
Until next time,

Otto von Bismark's Journal (chapter 25)
Dear journal,
Finally the Austro-Prussian war has ended! Although it was a short war, only seven weeks, it was extremely successful. I began this war because I wanted Prussia to control the northern part of Germany. This meant I had to expel Austria from German affairs. I knew after Austria and our joint victory over Denmark Austria had to see things my way or there would be war. Then finally, after neutralizing Russia and France the war began. By utilizing railroads to mass troops and the breechloadng needle gun, we defeated Austria at the Battle of Sadowa. Then, after a generous offer on my part, Austria agreed to withdraw from German affairs. Although Austria did not have to pay reparations, nor give us land, I believe we received something much more important. The success of Prussia in this war will lead to my fundamental goal, to expand Prussia.
I am thrilled we have won this war and know that Prussia has much expansion in its future. It has been a long day journal. I went to the pub and drank heavily, and so I leave you with these words, "The great questions of the day will not be decided by speeches and resolutions, but by blood and iron."
Sincerely,
Otto Von Bismark “master of politics”

Child Rearing
Dear Journal
My mother has just had a baby. My new little brother's name is William. He is very cute but my mother can hardly look at him. She said that there is a good chance baby William will not live very long and she does not want to get attached. Strangely my mother has been feeding the baby herself. When i was a baby i was fed by a wet nurse. She said he will have a better chance of living if she feeds him. Even though she does not want to grow fond of him too fast i can tell she already loves him just like she loves me now. I would love to have a big family but my mom said if William gets strong and healthy it will just be me and him as far as children go. She said having less children will provide our small family with more financial support. I guess so since Mother has promised me violin lessons this summer. I am very excited.
Sincerely,
Alice

Life in Prussia is changing as big cities grow
Dear Journal,
As a member of the working class in Prussia, the divide between the classes is most apparent to me. I am a domestic servant to an aristocratic family- the richer are getting more money and the poor are becoming poorer. It seems any money we do get my husband drinks away at the pub with his friends. We don't even have time for church anymore- no one seems to besides the wealthy. Although I cannot leave my job yet, a few of my friends have chosen to stay at home and be wives and mothers. Oh how I envy them. I worry constantly about my husbands whereabouts, it seems the prostitutes love him, or the other way around. Although I have no rights to speak up, it devestates me to know that there is an illegitimate child out there that belongs to him. I only hope the work of the feminist activists prevails. I can't live this life much longer.
Best,
Anne

Dear Journal,
Having just restored the French boundaries and the Bourdon Dynasty, we Prussia have finally come to a balance of power amongst Russia, Austria and Great Britain. We are now currently looking out against France and created a kingdom out of Belgium and Holland. A conflict is beginning to form because we want control of all Saxony and only received two-fifths. Being a woman during this time, I am able to see the outside picture and the large conflicts amongst the countries. Having not much freedom to speak, we as women and householders are beginning to form our own point of view. Fighting and campaigning for more rights everyday, such as equal education and work for us, is taking place. Still to this day we are not capable of owning any property. We do have control of how money is spent within our families and household decisions. I have a strong love and care for children and only want the best for them.
Fondly,
Lilly – of an aristocratic family living in Prussia.

Prussia Peasent Working Conditions
Since this new intellectual era, there is a sudden period of urbanization that is occuring. This growth has provided me with many new working opportunities. Even though I am working in a factory, I am getting much better pay and rights that are a huge difference from the past. During the past I was very low on the social ladder, but I am climbing it quickly. The only draw back is that the environment is getting trashed and my health is slowing being depleated. Mabye some laws can be past to help that.
