# Frederick the Great- Letter to a Polish Official.

"Frederick II (1712-1786) was the third king of Prussia, a brilliant military campaigner who, in a series of diplomatic stratagems and wars against Austria and other powers, greatly enlarged Prussia’s territories and made Prussia the foremost military power in Europe. An enlightened absolute monarch, who favoured French language and art, it was he who established in the minds of educated Europeans a notion of what “enlightened despotism” should be." From the Encyclopedia Britannica.
