Is it true that $p^n\mathbb{Z}_p\cong \mathbb Z_p$ as additive groups?
Here $\mathbb Z_p$ is the ring of $p$-adic integers for $p$ prime and $n$ is any positive integer.
Thanks

If $R$ is any integral domain (unitary commutative ring without zero divisors) and $x\in R$ is any non-zero element, the additive groups of $R$ and of the principal ideal $Rx$ are naturally isomorphic.
Once you have clear a proof in your case, it would be clear how to prove this more general fact and how to generalize it further.
