Prussia is now modern day Germany
Prussia is a country that was dissolved after World War II, so it is no longer on the maps. However, much of Eastern Europe was at one time or another part of Prussia and its many incarnations. If you are wondering about Prussia directly before it was dissolved, it would be between Germany and Poland on modern maps, and a bit on the coast of the Baltic sea where modern day Kaliningrad Oblast is now.

Prussia was officially dissolved in 1947.
In the year of 1871, the main war that Prussia was involved in was the Franco-Prussian War. This war, of course, was between the French and the Prussians, as the name states. The Prussians, and other regions of modern-day Germany that fought along side them, were victorious in the battle against the French. This war resulted in the formation of the country of Germany. So, Prussia defeated France in1871, but they were the last nation that Prussia would defeat as a country.
There are some maps in the related links which may be helpful. Much of Eastern Prussia (including Posen) became part of Poland after World War I. The Oder-Niesse Line is now the eastern border of Germany. Most of Prussia was part of East Germany from 1945 to 1990.
Bismark created modern Germany from Prussia and a number of small German-speaking duchies and principalities.
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.
