Toward the end of his reign, King Frederick II of Prussia physically connected most of his realm by acquiring Polish territories in the First Partition of Poland.

Poland must be one of the most unfortunate geographically placed countries in recorded history. I have always been so glad that I was born and have lived on islands, including an island continent. No chance of nearby foreign nations slithering over into the country, acquiring some of this and bits of that by any and all means possible. With apologies to all who've had it done to them by GB!
