HISTORY - FREDERICK II (1712 - 1786) - Letter signed
From childhood, he tried to reconcile his passion for the arts and literature with the needs of his political and military destiny. A realistic statesman and excellent warlord, he made Prussia a worthy rival to the House of Habsburg. He governed his country with tact, maintaining the tradition of a strong state, but also knowing how to modernise the structures that required it: he developed education, abolished torture, etc. An admired sovereign throughout Europe, he was a friend to many writers and scholars. He made Berlin a capital of enlightenment.
