"Why" and "Who" disappeared from the map - Prussia?

Germany is today a federal state made up of 16 republics (Lande). Historically, each of them, about 150 years ago, was an independent state and it was Bismarck, the chancellor of Prussia, who brought about their union into a single state. Prussia achieved German unification by war against France (Battle of Metz 1870) and Austria-Hungary (Battle of Sadova 1871), which were the two neighboring states that prevented this union for more than 3 centuries, under the blessing of England.

Instead of Prussia, as the state with the primary contribution to the formation of the German nation, being today the largest and most powerful state of the federation (as it was until 1945), today it does not appear as a state at all on the map of Germany. The pencil of Roosevelt, Churchill and Stalin erased it from the map with the Yalta agreement (1945). Germany was thus stripped of its heart and a part of its soul, although it was left with its brain and stomach.

Prussia was national pride, the Teutons, discipline and order, but above all what her enemies feared most - the fighting spirit. An unprecedented case in history, which is talked about little or not even in school textbooks.

The territory of former Prussia is today a small part of the environs of Berlin, western Poland, a part of Lithuania and the wedge province of Russian Kaliningrad, once Koningsberg, where the great philosopher Immanuel Kant lived and worked.

We Albanians, rightly, complain that the international treaties left out of the Albanian state of 1913 (London Albania) half of the territories inhabited by Albanians, although those territories have never been part of the Albanian state, as was Prussia. Under Yugoslavia, Kosovo had the status of an autonomous province, while Prussia, after 1945, lost its territory and name.

How do the Germans not feel that Prussia, the "mother" that gave birth and raised united Germany, has remained outside their territory today? Not only that, but Mrs. Merkel's policy is the most ardent supporter of not changing the borders of Europe, established by the winners of the LDB!

Some may say that today the territory does not play the role that it once had and priority is given to soft economic expansion (without war), through profitable investments. I think that the size of the territory and population of a country has its own role and weight in relations between nations. Even the united Albania will be more developed, more mature and more dignified towards its neighbors than it is today.
