Prussian Russian
What good books on military history would you recommend...and why?
I enjoy reading about almost any battle or commander: Civil wars (US, Russian, English, etc), Franco-Prussian, Peloponnesian, Crimean, Hundred Years War, Thirty Years War, WW I & II, Succession wars, etc. etc.
Gates of Fire: An Epic Novel of the Battle of Thermopylae.
It's a novelized form of the battle the movie 300 is based on. Pretty good read. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

| | Prussian G 7.1 $60.54 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Prussian Class G 7.1 engines of the Prussian state railways were German eightcoupled, goods train, steam locomotives. They were first built in 1893 by the firm of Stettiner Maschinenbau AG Vulcan, but later by the other larger Prussian locomotive manufacturers as well. The boiler was the same as that of the G 5.1. The locomotives were intended for heavy goods duties especially on hilly routes. As a result, most of the engines went to the western German and Silesian railway divisions. By 1909, 1,002 examples had been delivered to the Prussian state railways. During the First World War simple and robust locomotives were required for military use. As a result in 1916/1917 a further 200 G 7.1s were built. From 1916, the k.u.k. Heeresbahn in Austria had 35 units of the Class G 7.1 which it named the Class 274. They were intended for use on broad gauge Russian railways. The LubeckBuchen Railway also bought three G 7.1s, which had been manufactured in 1898 by Schwartzkopff.

| | Russian Guards $58.94 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Guards (Russian: ) or Guards units (Russian:, gvardeyskiye chasti) were and are elite military units in Imperial Russia, Soviet Union and the Russian Federation. The tradition goes back to the retinue of a knyaz (his druzhina) of medieval Kievan Rus and the streltsy, the Muscovite harquebusiers formed by Ivan the Terrible by 1550. The exact meaning of the term Guards varied over the time. In the Russian Empire, Imperial Russian Guard units ( LeibGuards, , leybgvardiya) derived from German Leibwaechter (bodyguards), and were intended to provide for the security of the sovereign, initially that of Peter the Great in 1690s based on the Prussian practice. At the beginning of the twentieth century it consisted of 13 infantry, 4 rifles and 14 cavalry regiments and some other units. They were abolished in 1918. The Imperial Russian Guard units did not consist exclusively of troops recruited from Russian population, but also included Lithuanian, Finnish and Ukrainian personnel.

Napoleon Total War Online Drop-In Battle #007: Prussia vs Russia
Why do many Prussians (of German culture more or less) have seemingly Polish/Russian names?
For example, in the WW II movie "Cross of Iron" the German Captian's last name was "Stransky". There are many actual examples of this in history and currently.
They have been in constant contact for centuries . contact which saw german occupy pasrt of Russia, all of Poland, and TRussian occupation of Easter Germany, and Poland .
Over the year shtis has seen much intermingling between the three.
Most of mainland Europe was at one time tribal Germaic peoples who freely travel before national boundaries began to set in, and this led to name use by all.
It is likely that at one time Russians were of the Germanic tribal people (as so many of the people under Russian are Asian in culture and ethic background) and migrated into what is now Russia.

What ways did the British War in America from 1812-1815 affect the British negotiations at the Congress of Vienna? Who, if anyone, benefited from this distraction?
While the war of 1812 and the Vienna Congress are often overlooked in relation to one another, Great Britain and the negotiations of the Vienna Congress greatly affected the end of the war of 1812 and the signing of the treaty of Ghent on December 24th, 1814. Castlereagh being the British Foreign Secretary, had his attention split between the on going war with America and the Congress of Vienna, but knowing that the outcome of Vienna was a more challenging situation—seeing as the United States were being overrun by the British—Castlereagh instructed commissioners in the United States to be conciliatory when signing the treaty of Ghent so as to make a clear impression internationally that Great Britain was not trying to gain any territory, therefore avoiding any negative criticisms at the Congress of Vienna that could compromise Great Britain’s influence. Castlereagh had also become concerned with the recent Prussian and Russian attempts of massive land concessions in central Europe and so he decided that making an alliance with France and Austria would be a good way to discourage both Prussia and Russia’s attempts at dominance. But because of the recent European conflicts, France lacked political and military brut and Austria lacked financial means leaving Great Britain with an alliance that could not support any threats leveled against the Russian and Prussian claims. Castlereagh knew Great Britain needed another friend on the international level and decided through concessions at the treaty of Ghent, that Great Britain’s new friend—purely politically seeing as relations between the two states were still filled with animosity— would be the United States. Once the treaty of Ghent was signed and the war of 1812 had contractually come to an end, it was apparent that British troops would be heading home, so it was not long before Russia and Prussia backed off from their claims in hopes of avoiding possible British aggression.
There were a number of actors who benefited from the distractions of the war of 1812, two of which were Prussia and Russia. As Great Britain was trying to close the war and were in negotiations with the United States, Prussia and Russia took it upon themselves to seek gains of territory. While initially it appeared as though both states would benefit from Great Britain’s distractions, in the end Castlereagh stopped Prussia and Russia’s attempts by once again having troops that were available to ensure—through basic intimidation—that Great Britain’s desires for the rebuilding of Europe were instilled. Another state that benefited from Great Britain’s distractions was France. While Great Britain thought it was important for France to continue to be a world power and have sovereignty, if it weren’t for Prussia’s and Russia’s attempts to gain land concessions, Great Britain probably would not have been so eager to establish an alliance with France so quickly. Gaining an alliance with the world power of Great Britain gave France a huge step forward in the rebuilding and reestablishing of their state post-Napoleon. It is important to note that while Prussia, Russia and France all seemed to have benefited from Great Britain’s distraction because of the war of 1812, the United States benefited even more from Great Britain’s distractions with the Vienna Congress, which lead Castlereagh into allowing various concession to the United States in attempts to end the war swiftly so as to focus on the rebuilding of Europe.

What other questions are raised by your study of the Congress of Vienna?
1) Would the attempts at land concessions by Prussia and Russia succeeded if the treaty of Ghent had not been signed?
2) How would the war of 1812 ended differently if the Vienna Congress was not taking place? Would Great Britain have attempted to establish themselves as predominate rulers over a majority of the continent of North America?
