The armed forces of Prussia had a profound influence on the nature of its own people. This included the social structure and its development. The landed aristocracy were called the Junkers, and they were pressed or gladly volunteered to be officers in the army. Thus the nobility of Prussia by supporting the army supported the monarchy.As an aside, the Junkers were still an important part of Nazi Germany. And, even airplane bombers carried the Junker name.

The first King of Prussia was Frederick the Great. He was the King of Prussia from 1740 to 1786. His grandfather ruled in Prussia before him, but he was not called a King.
Junkers were influential landowners in Germany and Prussia under the German Empire and the Weimar Republic. Junker comes from the Middle High German word, Juncherre, which means 'young nobleman.'
Usually not. However, during the Seven Years' War a part of Prussia briefly became Russian from 1758 until 1763. After World War 2 a part of Prussia became Russian again. This "Russian Prussia" is called Kaliningrad Oblast. The other parts of (Old Baltic) Prussia are now part of Poland and Lithuania. Prussia has two meanings: The (German) Kingdom of Prussia on one hand and Old/Baltic Prussia on the other hand. The Kingdom of Prussia got its name from the original Baltic Prussia (in Old Prussian language it is called "Prūsa"). The original Baltic Prussia was the easternmost province of the Kingdom of Prussia. That Province of Prussia inside the Kingdom of Prussia was most of the time parted into East Prussia and West Prussia.
