What did the Treaties of Tilsit mean for Prussia?
Prussia lost one-third of its territory and was reduced to a makeshift state east of the Elbe.
They were far harsher on Prussia than on Russia. Encyclopedia.com describes the treaty as leaving Russia untouched while reducing Prussia to a makeshift territory east of the River Elbe, occupied by Napoleon's troops and ringed by his puppet states. It also tore away one-third of Prussia's territory and placed it under the control of the king of Saxony in a new satellite state, the Grand Duchy of Warsaw.
