What ever happened to the Prussians?
The Prussian people still lived in the same place but they had to learn a new language, adapt to a new culture, and abide by new laws. Most of their laws were similar if not the same, although there were a few minor changes.
Why did Prussia fall?
Hitler and his Nazis were really into making Prussia a part of Germany, which Prussia wasn't a supporter of. Hitler thought he was being real sly when he and his Nazi party started celebrating the "marriage of Old Prussia to New Germany" and tried to win the Prussian figureheads and leaders over. In 1935, the Nazis created a new treaty which signed over pretty much all of Prussia's government, say-so, and independence. Hitler was appointed as the formal governor of Prussia, although his job was soon taken over by Herman Goring as the new Prussian prime minister.
A majority of Prussian land was transferred to Poland after the Treaty of Versailles had been reunited after World War II, although a lot of the territory hadn't been put back into Prussia and was assigned to different areas.
Stalin and some of the Western allies wanted to abolish Prussia, as Stalin and Russia were to keep the name and only use it as a subordinate (similar to the modern day use of Lithuania by Russia). Russia had many different views about Prussia, which used to be its ally and was a neighboring country. On the 25 of February in 1947 Prussia was officially dissolved.
The Prussian territories were then divided up and even then some were dissolved yet again. By 1990 all the old Prussian territory was settled permanently for the most part.

When did Prussia become abolished?
Prussia was abolished in 1947. At the time, it was split into East Prussia and West Prussia. West was stripped away of any and all political involvement East was still "a'ight," but then the USSR (Soviet Union) came over and took over. The rest thought they were good to go, but Poland soon put an end to that little celebration and took them over.
