Why is Prussia alive? Well, why is Romano still alive when Italy isn't two separate nations anymore? Prussia exists as East Germany, Romano exists as South Italy. They go by "Prussia" and "Romano" for the sake of simplicity.

Prussia: and its not just because history is too lame it's also because I'm too awesome for it Me:what if everyone in history was even more awesome than you? Prussia:that's impossible
My grandfather was born in Prussia and every time I bring it up he says that it was east Germany He also told me his grandfather was executed by Russian soldiers back in April 1945
i tought it was obvious. even we in far south east asia learn the world history in the 80s, learns about east-west german, the ww2, the prussia disbandment etc. didnt you? hmmm....weird?
+Nurlinda F Sihotang It is glossed over, probably because in America it is still being taught that WWII was about good vs evil, and freeing the world from an oppressive evil government, because no one should be forced to be controlled by a government they didn't want (ie Germany). It's sort of hard to hold up that false narrative if you go around telling people how half of Europe was then handed over to Russia, and a bunch of people were (*cough those that weren't murdered or driven off of course

Wait, who said that Southern Italy is poor with farmlands? It has great tourist destinations with some of the oldest cities in Italy. Also, some of the land were from Ancient Greece so there's even temples there from Ancient Greece. So South Italy shouldn't be considered poor with farm land all over. The capital of Italy is there as well. As said in that one episode about Romano fighting with Germany about Italy, German tourists, along with other tourists from places, go there every summer. If I was wrong about some things, sorry about that. I just really like Romano. He's my favorite character in Hetalia. His quotes are so classic, LOL! "The weatherman is predicting a 99% percent chance of a shit storm and it's coming right at you!" "Thanks a million, next time why not just stab me in the chest with a (how the heck do you even spell it)!" "Don't play dumb with me, that's my brother's job!" "I rather listen to a sexy lady, not you." "Gahhhh! It's France, protect me!"
@@creepyfluffycat7284 i know but that’s what some people say (i’m starting to think that romano isn’t actually just south italy though since romano means of rome)
Actually, Prussia does not initially represents Prussia but the Teutonic Order, which still exists today, the headquarters are somewhere in Austria. This is why Prussia is still alive.
I agree with this, but I think that because of Prussia's jump from being one nation to another caused some... side effects. One of those maybe being he doesn't heal like other nations do, explaining why he didn't quickly heal from Hanah's bite. So I think that while Prussia living as East Germany is still immortal like the other nations, he's not invincible like them. Perhaps of he were to fully accept his new role as East Germany he would regain his invincibility, but we all know that he'd never do that and want to stay as Prussia for as long as he can.
I thought that this was the case as soon as I heard the east and west nicknames. I was kind of surprised that people have all these different theories as to why Prussia is still alive. To me, it is pretty obvious that Prussia represents East Germany because of what the creator of this video said about N vs S Italy and E vs W Germany.
I already figured he's representing East Germany since of course with Germany calling him East and all. XD I saw that image in the back at 13:34 my friends and I still question wtf that's about
On the italy brothers fact that they have really different personalities, like it's obvious, I think as an Italian that they swapped their personalities the south people are more like Veneziano and the north people (they are not that rude hahhaha they are just less carefree) are more like Romano... I just wanted to say it😂 okay now I'm happy 😂 PRUSSIA SHALL NEVER DIE! Bye love your videos❤
Hetafacts: **making very interesting points about the historical implications of Prussia's existence** Me: **headbanging to A Song Made By Me For Me in the background**
Another thing keeping Prussia alive could be the Teutonic Order. It does, in fact, still exist and I don't see why Prussia wouldn't still be connected to it.
I kinda agree to the East Germany Theory. I also kinda add a little bit of my own idea. That Prussia is still alive not only because he was East Germany and now Eastern Germany, but also because the Royal House of Prussia is alive, well and even acknowledged in Germany. At least, that's my opinion.
One of the reasons that Germany and Prussia call eachother "East" and "West" mostly comes down to interwar Germany between world war 1 and 2. As we all know, Germany was essentially stripped of territory that was to be given to poland and there was the formation of the polish corridor, splitting germany in two and making the country of Germany and the German state of what was known as "OstPreußen" or rather East Prussia. Only when Germany defeated the country of poland did the two finally connect again.
In my opinion the theory that says that he represents East German is the most accurate. Is just that maybe he and Germany (West) have a similar deal like the UK brothers where England represents them in international events and similar I think that the Italy brothers have the same type of agreement. He just decided to go by Prussia because is more awesome. Also off topic my theory is that Holy Roman Empire's body was used to create Germany. I remember that I saw that Germany wasn't born as baby but around his pre-teen years
Makes a lot of sense. I'm going with that East Germany theory. Wait... does this mean that somewhere, there's a Confederate States of America since the south is still is different from the North and is obsessed with the Civil War?
I agree with this theory, except for a few things. I believe that Prussia is currently New Prussia. Prussia was east Germany when the berlin wall was up. When it fell is when he started to fade. Romano is still around (One because his heart is the capital of Italy) and because he was unified. Like Hungary and Austria when they became their empire or Czechoslovakia. Then when Berlin wall went down Prussia started to fade. I have researched the berlin wall and east Germany and when the wall went down, The soviet union gave up it's rein on east Germany, it was not unified like the other countries I mentions earlier. Prussia faded the same why holy rome did. By getting sick or weaker. In the recent comic stripes, it has shown Prussia reading the brothers grim books to A very sick Holy Rome after his country was dissolved. It shows in the comic (and Prussia's wiki page) That he sneezes when he is bored and as you stated, coughs up blood when he is around Russia. Holy Rome showed these signs when he was sick , just to a larger scale. It has only been about 15 years since the wall fell, I think that Prussia was trying to hold out as long as he could. Then Canada came and saw that Prussia was dying and Created New Prussia. also we haven't seen Prussia in current time in the comic stripes so he might not even be alive, or he is still dying. I do believe that he was East Germany during the cold war, but I do not think he is now. America is very regionally different so if your theory about him being east Germany because the regions are different it would have to be the same for America and various other countries too, like Russia or Canada or china. I hope that makes sense.
Doctorkitty6758 New Prussia is a place in Canada. Are there Germans in New Prussia? If there isn't then what is the connection between Prussia and New Prussia? Everything else you said was good.
Doctorkitty6758 Prussia is East Germany, which makes sense why Prussia's and Germany's personalities are SO different, you can actually see the split between West and East Germany from SPACE! Prussia hasn't been it's own Country since before WW1, so how could Prussia have been seen in WW2? Prussia was considered by many as East Germany. When the Berlin wall came down, West and East Germany were in fact united, it's just that the land of Prussia was given to Poland (for obvious reasons). Also, England coughs up blood every 4th of July, is he dyeing too? New Prussia existed since BEFORE Prussia (the land) was dissolved.
*Isn't he representing East Germany?* (I'm new to the fandom, don't kill me) like there's north and south italy in the show. So at first I thought he was just East Germany since Germany is sometimes called "West" or something idk (don't attack me)

Whole russian community grips on the idea that he represents Kaliningrad (aka Königsberg), and he's strong like a nation because it's an unique exclave with strange mix of culture. Dis boi won't die, nyet.
i mean Königsberg is literally prussias capital. its natural to headcanon that if your capital (aka heart) is preserved youd be alive. like. it doesnt get more straightforward
I know this is late but he’s still alive because of a technicality. Ernst Thalmann Island off the coast of Cuba was given to East Germany as a diplomatic gesture. Nobody lives there. It really is just a rock in the ocean but it was never claimed along with the rest of East Germany’s holdings so its technically still East German territory. In short, Prussia is so awesome that he figured out how to survive via a loophole in international law
There might be a little... mistake in your Argumentation. West and east germany are United and there is no difference anymore. (I should know it, I grew up in both of them). There were big differences a long while ago, today you just cant see anything anymore. Just saying :)
no they're right, east and west Germany aren't all that different, the only thing I can think of worth noting is maybe politics. Some Germans, such as myself, identify as Prussian as well depending on their lineage. I think it's because people still identify as Prussian and that is what gives him something to represent.Think about the REUNIFICATION of Germany when the Berlin Wall fell and the east and west were reunited; families were split up and it wasn't just like after the fact they all of a sudden said "oh I'm east german" or "oh I'm west german", everyone was just German (or anything else in their lineage). Just like how both Italy's are still just one country. Same kind of thing.
no, I said "same KIND OF thing" and by that I meant how there is two people representing populations of/who live in the same country. Yet two sets of borders are not definitive. And both (Prussia and Romano) are still alive.
ρυяρlє ιяιѕ not really. It's like that: in West germany the People get more money but everything id more expressive. In west germany they might get less money but everything costs less. Thats what I know. We had in school some time ago..
No, it's his little yellow bird that's keeping him alive! I have proof! In Prussia's song "Mein Gott", he says in the lyrics: "hey little bird chirp FOR MY SAKE. It will HEAL ME" Just a theory tho ^J^
I'm new to Hetalia (as of late May 2020) and I'm so glad I found this channel. If I have a question about something I can just come here because you have probably already answered it.
this can be like the whole thing France said. As long as people still believe in the country and live where it is or used to be then the country can never die
*Shroog* Some people have a theory that Prussia is the representation of the Holocaust. There are fan fiction of him being the Holocaust, and that since most people are always remembering the Holocaust and when Prussia was dissolved and taken to Russia and became Kaliningrad. People still remembered the Holocaust, and since he was dissolved by the time of the Holocaust. (I dunno, I just guessed ;P)
Prussia is still alive possibly for the following reasons. I'm commenting this before I watch, so let's see if we think the same. 1) What was formerly his land had been divided up into that of many other countries. (Ex. Germany, Austria, other Germanic countries) 2) The free state of Prussia. It was a state of Germany after the kingdom was abolished in favor of a republic. 3) Parts of his territory were incorporated into Poland and the Soviet Union, the State of Prussia ceased to exist de facto in 1945.Prussia existed de Jude until its formal liquidation by the Allied control council Enactment No. 46 of 25 February 1947. 4) Today, Prussia is called the "Autonomous Kingdom of Prussia". It is a micronation with a small population, created in 2012. Much of its symbolism is derived from that of the old Kingdom of Prussia. 5) There are others, but my brain is tired as it is late. We shall see how I do.
That just adds on to the idea that the states are personified at least to me. All of the states are very diverse, examples of this are: accents, culture, economy, race, past parents (Alaska, Hawaii, the portions Spain and France owned), and rolls (the Midwest is known for farming etc). This was a cool video and anyone who read this far thank you tell me your opinion and have a good day!
I don't think it does because if you recall, Germanic States were separate and they passed on their traits to form Germany. If what you said is true about the states of the US, it would also have to be true for the states of Germany because everything you said is also true about the states of Germany. Germany is a Federal Republic much like The US is. States of Germany en.wikipedia.org/wiki/States_of_Germany
I feel like Prussia gave half or more of his soul to HRE to "revive" him after HRE died/dissolved- I feel like that's also a reason, or could by a theory as to why he's still around maybe he's still somehow connected to Germany after all this time, although the West and East Germany sounds way more reasonable, I just thought I should put this out there sry y'all- ._."
and the last theory makes so much sense as well. But i feel bad for those who did not realize that He was east Germany . yeah the whole Prussia is dead Romano should be to makes so much sense (I do love Romano and Prussia to death but sorry it is true)
Isn't niko niko is special case though. Even japan didn't believe that niko niko can become a nation but being a japanese man he doesn't outright says it. So, japan was actually suprised that he managed to become a nation somehow. It had been implyed humans had never become nations before.
I think that "Nico Nico" phenomenon indicates a clue that maybe this is how nations' personification in Hetalia were "born" ?! That they all used to be a normal person but somehow "became" a country?! Maybe there's a mysterious power which would choose some people to become a country (the personification of it)🙄
Hoppers World Himaruya already wrote it in his manga that they were born a country. They just know they’re different from normal humans since they’re babies.
Since east Germany doesn't exsist and was dissolved in 1990 you can't really black out the fact that Prussia could still be alive because he is a micro nation. He might of just hopped from Prussia to east Germany had a little of a gap and come back in 2005 when the micronation was formed. It might also explain why in the anime we can see him complaining how he hasn't appeared as frequently as the others.

i mean Königsberg is literally prussias capital. its natural to headcanon that if your capital (aka heart) is preserved youd be alive. like. it doesnt get more straightforward
I know this is late but he’s still alive because of a technicality. Ernst Thalmann Island off the coast of Cuba was given to East Germany as a diplomatic gesture. Nobody lives there. It really is just a rock in the ocean but it was never claimed along with the rest of East Germany’s holdings so its technically still East German territory.
In short, Prussia is so awesome that he figured out how to survive via a loophole in international law
There might be a little... mistake in your Argumentation. West and east germany are United and there is no difference anymore. (I should know it, I grew up in both of them). There were big differences a long while ago, today you just cant see anything anymore. Just saying :)
sami pupa Well, if that was how it worked, there would only be one Italy, but they're both alive and well.
no they're right, east and west Germany aren't all that different, the only thing I can think of worth noting is maybe politics. Some Germans, such as myself, identify as Prussian as well depending on their lineage. I think it's because people still identify as Prussian and that is what gives him something to represent.Think about the REUNIFICATION of Germany when the Berlin Wall fell and the east and west were reunited; families were split up and it wasn't just like after the fact they all of a sudden said "oh I'm east german" or "oh I'm west german", everyone was just German (or anything else in their lineage). Just like how both Italy's are still just one country. Same kind of thing.
ßyd We can't know for sure, but you did just say it was the same kind of thing as the Italies at the last part of your comment.
no, I said "same KIND OF thing" and by that I meant how there is two people representing populations of/who live in the same country. Yet two sets of borders are not definitive.
And both (Prussia and Romano) are still alive.
ρυяρlє ιяιѕ not really. It's like that: in West germany the People get more money but everything id more expressive. In west germany they might get less money but everything costs less. Thats what I know. We had in school some time ago..
If one of the Italys died it would be north Italy because his heart is Venice and Romano’s is Rome
The chills when Mein Gott starts playing in the background...
4:57 wAIT WHAT I HAD NO IDEA PRUSSIA WAS A MICRO-NATION IN AMERICA AND CANADA Whhhhhh I have gained new knowledge
There is also King of Prussia in Pennsylvania
No, it's his little yellow bird that's keeping him alive! I have proof!
In Prussia's song "Mein Gott", he says in the lyrics: "hey little bird chirp FOR MY SAKE. It will HEAL ME"
Just a theory tho ^J^
Quick reminder: Sweden once made Prussia pass out from fear fourteen times in a row.
SO THAT'S WHY PRUSSIA CALLS HIM WEST
Apparently this "New Prussia" (Autonomous Kingdom of Prussia) was dissolved by decree of the King on January 7th, 2018.
My theory: Prussia is still alive because God doesn't want to take him in heaven as the former nation will annoy and irritate him to no end.
I'm new to Hetalia (as of late May 2020) and I'm so glad I found this channel. If I have a question about something I can just come here because you have probably already answered it.
this can be like the whole thing France said. As long as people still believe in the country and live where it is or used to be then the country can never die
If Prussia dies, Germany would be the only survivor in the Germanic family.
*Shroog* Some people have a theory that Prussia is the representation of the Holocaust. There are fan fiction of him being the Holocaust, and that since most people are always remembering the Holocaust and when Prussia was dissolved and taken to Russia and became Kaliningrad. People still remembered the Holocaust, and since he was dissolved by the time of the Holocaust. (I dunno, I just guessed ;P)
*His Ego and Awesomeness keeps him alive*
oh yeah
I think in a Comic they said Prussia often changes its name.
it took me way to long to realize you had mein gott in the background
It's a stretch, but maybe Prussia is connected to the royal house of Hohenzollern ( royal house of Prussia ) they still exist.
Anyone else think she sounds a bit like Akidearest?
Prussia is still alive possibly for the following reasons. I'm commenting this before I watch, so let's see if we think the same.
1) What was formerly his land had been divided up into that of many other countries. (Ex. Germany, Austria, other Germanic countries)
2) The free state of Prussia. It was a state of Germany after the kingdom was abolished in favor of a republic.
3) Parts of his territory were incorporated into Poland and the Soviet Union, the State of Prussia ceased to exist de facto in 1945.Prussia existed de Jude until its formal liquidation by the Allied control council Enactment No. 46 of 25 February 1947.
4) Today, Prussia is called the "Autonomous Kingdom of Prussia". It is a micronation with a small population, created in 2012. Much of its symbolism is derived from that of the old Kingdom of Prussia.
5) There are others, but my brain is tired as it is late. We shall see how I do.
The Hohenzollern theory can be also the explanation.
Prussia will always be a nation in our hearts, his awesomeness will always live on.
Love your new icons! You're awesome and keep doin' what you do!!!
Just like Romano, the culture difference is SO great, that they can become and are separate beings
But with that logic I do wonder why there isn’t a Yankee and Confederate America, I would argue the north and south are still very different
It's the bird on his head

That just adds on to the idea that the states are personified at least to me. All of the states are very diverse, examples of this are: accents, culture, economy, race, past parents (Alaska, Hawaii, the portions Spain and France owned), and rolls (the Midwest is known for farming etc). This was a cool video and anyone who read this far thank you tell me your opinion and have a good day!
I don't think it does because if you recall, Germanic States were separate and they passed on their traits to form Germany. If what you said is true about the states of the US, it would also have to be true for the states of Germany because everything you said is also true about the states of Germany. Germany is a Federal Republic much like The US is.
States of Germany
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/States_of_Germany
I agree!👍 So there should be bunches of states/provinces personification inside every country 🤔
Because we still listen to "Preußens Gloria"
I feel like Prussia gave half or more of his soul to HRE to "revive" him after HRE died/dissolved- I feel like that's also a reason, or could by a theory as to why he's still around maybe he's still somehow connected to Germany after all this time, although the West and East Germany sounds way more reasonable, I just thought I should put this out there sry y'all- ._."
This is what I thought when I first heard Prussia call Germany West.
Hey is Prussia alive cause of comic relief
That background music was so awesome it was distracting.
I think that as long as people remember about a country, it will not fade even when it's no longer on the maps or smth. ;)
OMG!!Thank you so much. Now I'll be able not to cry on History classes when they talk about Prussua
I LIVE !!!!
Prussia yayyyyyyyy the awwesome prussia livves!
What if Prussia just ...didn't realize he died?
and the last theory makes so much sense as well. But i feel bad for those who did not realize that He was east Germany . yeah the whole Prussia is dead Romano should be to makes so much sense (I do love Romano and Prussia to death but sorry it is true)
I LOVE PRUSSIA! ALSO PRUHUN!
Maybe the reason Prussia is still a nation is because there are still people who are Prussian or half Prussian?
._.
Isn't niko niko is special case though.
Even japan didn't believe that niko niko can become a nation but being a japanese man he doesn't outright says it.
So, japan was actually suprised that he managed to become a nation somehow.
It had been implyed humans had never become nations before.
I think that "Nico Nico" phenomenon indicates a clue that maybe this is how nations' personification in Hetalia were "born" ?! That they all used to be a normal person but somehow "became" a country?! Maybe there's a mysterious power which would choose some people to become a country (the personification of it)🙄
Hoppers World Himaruya already wrote it in his manga that they were born a country.
They just know they’re different from normal humans since they’re babies.
This is probably the best Hetalia theory.
*Educational*
Since east Germany doesn't exsist and was dissolved in 1990 you can't really black out the fact that Prussia could still be alive because he is a micro nation. He might of just hopped from Prussia to east Germany had a little of a gap and come back in 2005 when the micronation was formed. It might also explain why in the anime we can see him complaining how he hasn't appeared as frequently as the others.
Germany has disliked this 29 times. The rest of the Hetalians (Including Prussia) have thumbs-up and subscribed.
What if he is 95,
And he just ages REALLY WELL
