[hider=Prusso-Saxon Commonwealth][b]The Prusso-Saxon Commonwealth[/b]

At the conference after the Napoleonic Wars one of the major questions was the restoration of Prussia. Frederick William III escaped but the nobility was less fortunate. Ultimately the British concerns regarding French post-war influence resulted not only in Prussia regaining most of their lost territories but even gaining significantly. Yet the Austrian concerns were also heard. Frederick William III became king of Saxony but he was forbidden to unite the two kingdoms, leaving it as a dual monarchy.

The loss of the Junker class was a major hit for Prussia but without them Frederick William III could push for more reforms. Yet his original aim of unifying protestant faiths met some unexpected setbacks. In 1934 this threatened to turn into open rebellion so the king had to walk back a few steps. This meant the end of the ongoing push to influence faith in Prussia, at least for now. It unified the separate admnistrative offices for faith and many clerics in Prussia-Saxony wrote reports for said ministry. Yet the union of Lutheranism and Kalvinism didn't happen, nor the enforcement of unified liturgies.

Another unexpected effect was the influence of Saxony. Combined with the disintegration of the Junker class this lead to a modest yet noticeable liberalization of Prussia. This also influenced the success of reformers and the penning of Prussia's constitution in 1827, not to mention the myriad rationalization efforts in order to revitalize the state. On the other hand this birthed the narrative of "Saxonization", a fringe theory from reactionaries decrying that liberalism is against traditional Prussian values. From the 1830s Frederick William III struggled with worsening health. Ultimately he chose to abdicate in favor of his son, crowned as Frederick William IV in 1836. Unlike his meek father Frederick William IV is an ardent romantic and holds conservative values. While he currently conveys more moderate views he's dreaming about restoring Prussian pride.[/hider]
