NOTES: Frederick William's greatest accomplishment was in the internal development of Prussia.

He was thus able to repay the debts incurred by his father and greatly improve the financial condition of Prussia. He also instituted compulsory elementary education in Prussia. The development of the army was his fondest achievement. He was particularly proud of the Potsdam Guard, composed of exceptionally tall men hired, and sometime kidnapped, from all parts of Europe. Under his supervision the number of soldiers in the army was increased from about 38,000 to some 83,500 and Prussia became the third ranking military power in Europe.
