Baron Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben was born on 17 September 1730 in Magdeburg. The Duchy of Magdeburg was annexed to the Kingdom of Prussia in 1701 at the time of the coronation of Frederick I to the King of Prussia. Baron von Steuben's parents were Lieutenant Wilhelm Agustyn von Steuben and Elizabeth Maria Justyna Dorota von Jagvodin. The household from the father's side owned any land on the border of Baden and Wurtemburg in historical Swabia. Noble origin, von Steuben's household owes Augustin von Steuben, who was the grandpa of the future general of the United States Army. The Protestant pastor Augustyn von Steuben simply forged the pedigree of the household impersonating the little-known and extinct von Steuben lineage in order to make his pastoral career and at the same time the theologian, as well as enabling his children's officer career. Cheating brought the expected results. The social and material position of the full household has changed. Today, a akin procedure of upgrading its origin can be observed in the form of a nobleman from the Bydgoszcz block, You are on the property of the decommunised zone, Sołtys Chobielin, Master of the University of Oxford, militant for the freedom of Afghanistan, Minister of Defence of Poland, Senator of the Sejm of the Republic, lecturers of Harvard University, European parliamentarian, husband of the celebrated parent of Poland, Mr. von Chobielin Sikorski.
The father of our hero Wilhelm Augustyn von Steuben as an officer of the Prussian army was appointed by the King of Prussia Frederick I to aid Caricina Annie Leopoldovna, a native German woman, the erstwhile Princess of Mecklenburg, to master the throne of the Republic of Both Nations of Lithuania and Poland.

Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben spent his childhood in Poland and Russia where his father trained the Russian army and participated in wars. The fall of the Republic of Both Nations began at the outbreak of the Chmielnicki rebellion in 1648, which lasted until 1654. Chmielnicki and his bandits committed a terrible crime at Batoh, in a beastly way killing over 6000 Polish knights. From this slaughter, the future hetman and Swede slayer Stefan Czarniecki miraculously survived. Among the victims of Sarmatian Katyń was Marek Sobieski, brother of future King John III Sobieski. Today's Ukraine, an ally and friend of the 3rd Republic, minted a silver coin to commemorate this cruel slaughter.
The disaster of the Swedish Flood in 1655, which completely ravaged the full Republic of Poland, fell on the Cossacks, Blacks and Tatars of the Republic. Both disasters active external forces, or an English joint stock company called the Moscow Company, bankers from Amsterdam, Prussia, Turkey and Habsburg. Charlemagne Gustav, King of Sweden's dwindling expedition, would not have come to fruition without massive loans from Dutch bankers to mortgage the loot. It's just that she's not telling me. The reign of King John III Sobieski and the magnificent triumph of Vienna in 1683 are only swans singing of the falling Republic. During the same period, thanks to financial support from England and the Netherlands and military aid from Prussia, Russia is making a immense leap of civilization. Born in 1672, car Peter I, called the large Reformation of all Russia with the aid of Protestant advisors from England, the Netherlands, Germany and Prussia. In the same period, the Republic of Both Nations, under the Saxon dynasty, is moving at a very fast pace towards decline. The 3rd North War in the years 1700 to 1720 devastated the Republic of Poland. In 1795, the Prussians plunder the crowns of the Polish kings in Wawel, take them to the Hohenzollern vault in Berlin to melt them down and cash them with the aid of Dutch bankers. In turn Russia calmly and patiently, thanks to the cooperation of the British Moscow Company, Dutch bankers and military aid from Prussia, is building its power, culminating in the 19th century, undoubtedly the golden age of Russia, in all respect. Even 100 years ago, Russia was a dusty and primitive periphery of the civilized world, but already in the 19th century it became a cultural, technological and industrial power. Again, I quote Jefferson's letter to Adams:
You must have noticed during your stay in Europe, as I did, that those who managed governments, at least larger powers, had respect for religion and considered the dignity of their government to be active in its integrity. Indeed, the wound was given to this honourable function in the 18th century by the demolition of Poland. But it was mainly the cruelty of the barbarian government, coupled with a smaller government, inactive trying to become great, while only 1 of those already large and having a character to lose descended to the vile partner of the crime.
A akin strategy of the civilization leap was utilized during the modernization of the nipponese Empire in the late 19th century. At the beginning of the 18th century, the Rothschild home is dated, which had and inactive has a immense influence on Poland as a state and Poles as a nation. Let us remember that the public image of the fall of the Republic of Both Nations is simply a message of false and primitive ground, these are fairy tales of Żwirk and Muchomorka from flies and ferns directed to the stupidest reptile. They can be compared to the stories about Lech Bolek Wałęsa, who, by jumping through the wall of the shipyard, powered by Admiral Janczyszyn, overturned communism in Poland.
But let us return to the distinguished von Steuben family. On August 10, 1741, the Prussian troops occupied Wrocław. On 9 October 1741, England, in secret negotiations between Prussia and Austria, forced the signing of a peace treaty called Klein-Schnellendorfn. Austria gave to Prussia Silesia. On 31 October 1741, the Austrian garrison of Nysa city surrendered to the armies of Prince Leopold I of Anhaltu-Dessau, a Prussian general-feldmarshalk, the creator of the celebrated Prussian muster to this day.
Prussian bomb squad lieutenant Wilhelm Augustyn von Steuben was awarded by Prince Leopold I of Anhaltu-Dessau for exemplary service during the artillery fire of Nysa. After the war ended, the von Steuben household lived in Catholic Wroclaw where young Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben was studying in a Jesuit school, which he did not complete due to the Prussian-Austrian war. In 1746, 16-year-old Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben joined the Prussian army in the rank of elder corporal. A young Petty Officer will rapidly learn the odor of gunpowder and the unparadoxed slaughter of war.
The war for the Austrian succession that took place between 1740 and 1748 ended with the signing of the Peace in Aachen (1748) between England and France, which became the origin of the 7 Years' War, and it was a worldwide conflict. The armed and fierce repressions between the large powers, England, France, Russia, Austria reached colonies in North America and even the Philippines. The 7 Years' War redesigned Europe as a full and its effects affected developments in both Americas. During the 7 Years' War, the Republic practically ceased to be as a state. She was nobody's land. Alien troops, and especially Russian, marched unpunishedly through the territory of the Republic, looting and impersonating a recruit. Let me remind you that only 57 years have passed since the celebrated Vienna rescue!
During the 3rd War of Silesia, Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben served as the camp chief in the celebrated Prussian regiment of General Johann von Mayr. November 5, 1757, In the rank of Lieutenant, as a subordinate to General Hans Sigismund von Lestwitz, young Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben was placed in the front defender of the Prussian troops during the conflict of Rossbach. The Prussians simply devastated the French-Saxon troops by killing more than 5 1000 soldiers, taking another 5 1000 into captivity, with their own losses of about 200 killed and 300 wounded. After the death of General von Mayr, Lieutenant von Steuben became an adjutant of Lieutenant General Johann von Hülsen, who was born in Babieniec village in Mazury and grew up in Kętrzyn. In 1760 Austria hit Silesia reflecting Kłodzko, Legnica and Prochowice. On August 15, 1760, Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben participated in the bloody but victorious conflict of Legnica. However, the combined Austrian-Russian forces managed to conquer Berlin on 9 October 1760. In 1761, Lieutenant von Steuben was placed on the staff of General Dietrich Ehrhard von Knobloch, who was born in 1690, in Glitajny, Mazury.
At the same time, our hero's father served in the rank of Major Bomb Squadron in the corps of Lieutenant General Hans Friedrich von Platen. During the war on Pomerania, he was imprisoned in Russia. After his release from captivity, Major Wilhelm Augustyn von Steuben served as an adjutant in King Frederick the Great's staff and then as a Prussian military attaché at the court of Cara Peter III. The social rank of the von Steuben household had already reached the heights of power.
The Prussian King Frederick the large personally selected Captain Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben to a group of thirteen staff officers aimed at peculiar training of military sciences. He then served as deputy quartermaster to his erstwhile regiment of General Hans Sigismund von Lestwitz. He took part in the siege of Świdnica (1756-1763). The seven-year war ended Hubertsusburg's room. Captain Steuben received a canon at the cathedral in Havelberg, paying an yearly scholarship of 1,200 German florins. Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben was released from General Friedrich Wilhelm von Gauda's staff, commander of the Salmuth Regiment, following the pretext of general demobilization in 1763. The actual reason for expulsion from the Prussian army was the ostentatious homosexuality of our hero and creator of the American army. With a burden the built social position of the von Steuben household was destroyed.
The disgraced Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben was forced to leave Prussia. Desperate and depressed von Steuben found refuge in his friend from the war of Silesia, Prince Frederick Henryk Ludwik Pruski.
Prince Henry came from the Hohenzollern house, was the thirteenth kid of King Frederick I of Prussia, and daughter of British King George I, Duchess of Sofia Dorota Hanoverska. Born in Berlin on 18 January 1726, Prince Henry was a peer of his Chamberlain and a comrade in the arms of Captain Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben. Prince Henry as a diplomat took an active part in planning the first partition of Poland, even tried to sit on the Polish throne twice, but the plans were thwarted by the brother of King Frederick the large of Prussia. Prince Henry was besides prepared to be King of North America. The thought of establishing the United States Kingdom was presented to Alexander Hamilton by Nathaniel Gorham a delegate from Massachusetts State to the Continental legislature and Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben. Today, this episode may seem alternatively comic to us, but it must be realised that the turbulent turn of the 18th and 19th centuries, issued a revolution in North America, the French Revolution, Napoleon Bonaparte, liquidated the Republic of the Republic of Both Nations, created Prussia and raised Russia to the position of planet power. Prince Henry was bankrupt and lived off mortgages. He was officially Catholic, married to Duchess Wilhelmina Hessen and Kassel. It was a childless marriage. Prince Henry didn't hide much from his homosexuality. Due to the expanding debts and erotic scandals, Prince Henry dissolved his court. In 1771, Chamberlain Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben remained destitute with immense debts. Prince Henry along with his beloved Chamberlain von Steuben escaped from creditors to France. There, under the close eye of French intelligence, they lived respective years incognito alternately in Strasbourg and Montpellier. The matrimony between Prince Henry and his Chamberlain von Steuben had to end. large politics separated love. Prince Henry returned to Prussian court, and Captain Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben, thanks to the recommendations of the French Minister of War and the celebrated wrestler number St. Germain at that time, met Benjamin Franklin in Paris. number St. Germain is simply a very crucial and yet very dark and mysterious figure. He dealt with alchemy and belonged to many secret societies, he was a very influential individual in many European courts. The French government has been sending weapons to rebels in North America for many years during the 7 Years' War, which was spattered by the French-Indian War from 1754 to 1764. The dispute over North America itself, between England and Catholic France, can be dated to the beginning of the 17th century erstwhile French Catholic missionaries and explorers, as the celebrated René-Robert Cavelier de La Salle, began to research and evangelize North America. Historians deliberately omit the spiritual aspect of wars devastating Europe from the 17th century until the mid-19th century. The spiritual war between Catholics and Protestants has spread to both Americas and continues to this day. This fact is simply deliberately silenced.
Benjamin Franklin and the French government have found a desperate officer who has been entrusted with converting a torn and hungry band of rebels into an army that will defeat the British! Before Chamberlain Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben could begin his grand mission, Benjamin Franklin had to convince Continental legislature to von Steuben. Although America is divided from Europe by the ocean, the reputation of man can overcome specified tremendous distances.
