THE WORLD'S GREAT EVENTS ALBERT PAYSON TERHUNE ' (©' by Dodd, Mead Vcompfcny.J ' " ' Frederick the Great - A N UNHAPPY boy, imprisoned and In danger of death, was one day forced by his father to stand at the grated window of his cell and watch his dearest friend executed. The boy was Prince Frederick of Prussia, later known as Frederick II, or Frederick the Great. He had a sadder, more unfortunate boyhood than did any beggar in his kingdom. His father, Frederick William, was a stern, harsh king, and a harsher parent. He was military-mad and would allow tils young son Frederick to study nothing but the art of war. The boy loved t>oetry, music and science. It was, in a measure, the old story of Peter the Great and Alexis over again. And It almost had the same terrible climax. For, at last, wearied by his father's abuse and cruelty, and resentful of the Injustice to which he was subjected, Frederick made up his mind to run away from the life he hated and to take refuge with his mother's brother, King George I of England. His most intimate friend/ Lieutenant Katt, helped him escape from Berlin; but their flight was discovered and they were caught and brought back. Then came such punishment as few fathers could have devised. -- _ ^ ___ Frederick was sent to prison and Katt was put to death directly outside the prince's cell. King Frederick William then demanded that Frederick renounce all rights to the throne. This the prisoner plucklly refused to do. The king in rage declared he would put Frederick to death, and was with difficulty dissuaded from the plan. He contented himself with exiling his son from court; and, in 1733, when Frederick was but twenty-one, forced him to marry a princess for whom the young bri3egrobm had not the sllg^test^ liking. For seventeen years after , that Frederfc^ lived Tn semi-seclusion on one of his estates, only returning to public life when, on the death of his father, in 1740, he came to the throne of Prussia. During the forty-six years of his reign Frederick well earned his title of "The Great." He found Prussia a secondary German state with a population of barely 2,240.000. He left It rich In new possessions, territory and power and with a population of 6,000,- 000. The fair principalities of Silesia, according to Frederick's Ideas, ought to belong to Prussia. So, the same year he became king, he set out to acquire them. A two years' war followed, In which Frederick's hardly acquired military education stood him in good stead. For he was victorious, and Silesia was annexed to Prussia. Frederick ruled his new possessions well and with mildness; and, although a Protestant, allowed religious freedom to Silesian Catholics. Knowing the unsettled condition of Europe and having fresh conquests In view, the victor now devoted himself to building up the strength of his armies; and, in 1748, he annexed East Friesland to his kingdom. Austria, so Frederick believed, had designs on Silesia; so he formed as alliance with France and other countries and (to keep Austria's mind as matters df defense rather than aggression) Invaded Bohemia In 1744 But the Austrlans and Saxons combined and repelled the Invasion. The campaign dragged on with varying fortunes until a peace treaty was signed by whose terms Frederick still held Silesia, and received 91,000,000 war Indemnity. Eleven years of peace followed, which were spent by Frederick la strengthening Prussia at home and abroad, in promoting arts and industries and in raising his army to 100,- 000 men. This peace period was broken by a rumor that Russia, Austria and Saxony were combining against Prussia. Fearing lest he might lose his cherished provinces of Silesia, Frederick forestalled the allies' action by Invading Saxony. This started a seven years' war, in which Frederick won little except a military reputation that rendered him a strong and decisive power In European politics. When peace was declared he used his own private fortune in repairing the ravages made by war. In the same year he concluded • treaty with Russia and was active In the first partition of Poland. By the terms of this division he acquired atl of Polish Prussia and part of Great Poland to the north. Henceforth, Frederick's kingdom was divided Into West and East Prussia. The crowning act of Frederick's statecraft, and one that stirred the political system of the whole continent (as well as marking Prussia's first open attempt to lead all the German states), was the forming, la 1785, of the "Furstenbund" (League of Princes) of the German kingdoms and principalities into a solid federation ; thus beginning what, in 1870, his descendant completed. In 1786 Frederick the Great died, leaving his nephew, who succeeded him, a kingdom his genius had increased In area by 28,000 square miles, a population Increased by 3,000,000, a treasury containing over $70,000,000 (the richest In Europe), an army of 200,000 and boundless credit wit* every other nation. Thus, in his seventy-fourth year,, perished the greatest of German monarch s, a man whose father bad thought Mb a fool and unlit to reign.
