Formation of the Prussian Confederation

February 21st, 1440 585 years ago

The Prussian Confederation was established by a coalition of cities and nobles in Prussia, aiming to protect their interests against the Teutonic Order. This coalition emerged as a response to the increasing power and territorial ambitions of the Order. The cities of Danzig (Gdańsk), Thorn (Toruń), and several others united to oppose the dominance of the Teutonic Knights. This unification marked a significant turning point in Prussian governance and laid the groundwork for future regional independence.
