What happens
After the humiliating defeat against Napoleon's armies and the harsh terms that followed in the peace, the need for drastic measures for Prussia to regain its former military and economic strength was obvious. A wide range of reforms implemented led to the abolishment of serfdom, privileges being revoked and an efficient decentralized government as well as compulsory military service. However, this was not a sure thing as different segments of society wanted different types of reforms. It could have been quite differently.
