Prussian virtues

Prussian virtues are things that Prussia (a country in Europe now known as Germany) valued. Prussians believed that certain things help make a person strong, brave and successful. These things included treating others with respect, being brave and standing up for what you believe in, working hard to be the best at something, staying loyal to the country, being honest and responsible, and treating everybody fairly. All of these things were important to Prussians and they encouraged people to follow them, which made Prussia a successful country.
