  • 254 Double Treaties Ended the Seven Years'
    #254 Double Treaties ended the Seven Years’ War – The Seven Years’ War was a continuation of the War of the Austrian Succession We have learned fully of the French and Indian War / Seven Years’ War double. Now we are going to add yet another double having to do with the Seven Years’ War. The Seven Years’ War is considered to be the second of two wars that go together in history, (1) the War of the Austrian Succession and (2) the Seven Years’ War. They are entirely connected. In Unsealing #208 The Ten Horns of Daniel 7:7 – The Cause of the Seven Years’ War, you might recall that a cause of the Seven Years’ War was that the ruler of Austria, Maria Theresa, desired to recover lost territory from Prussia. Prussia had seized northern Silesia from Austria in 1742, in the War of the Austrian Succession. Key Understanding: The Seven Years’ War (1756-1763) is considered by historians to be a continuation of the War of the Austrian Succession (1740-1748). They are double wars. In the War of the Austrian Succession (1740- 1748), Prussia seized northern Silesia from Austria. A major cause of the Seven Years’ War (1756-1763) was Austria desiring to get Silesia back. The wars for Silesia were a major part of the larger wars, the War of the Austrian Succession (1740-1748) and the Seven Years’ Russia War (1756-1763). Germany Austria took over Silesia in 1526, but in 1742, Silesia Prussia seized northern Silesia from Austria in the First Silesian War (1740-1742), which was a part of the larger War of the Austrian Succession.

  • War of the Austrian Succession.Docx
    War of the Austrian Succession The War of the Austrian Succession was a conflict that took place from 16 December 1740 to 18 October 1748 between the various European powers of the time. The conflict was not restricted to Europe, but also spilled into their colonial holdings in Asia. The war established Prussia as a regional hegemon for years to come, altering the very balance of power in Europe. In India, the rivalry between Britain and France in the Austrian War of Succession resulted in the First Carnatic War. This article will give further details about the War of the Austrian Succession within the context of the UPSC Exams. What was the reason behind the War of the Austrian Succession? The pretext for the war came when a succession crisis happened upon the death of the Habsburg Emperor Charles VI in 1740. To understand how this crisis happened, one must keep in mind the following events: ● In 1703, a Mutual Pact of Succession was agreed upon. It stated that should the male line of the Habsburgs become extinct, the female line would take precedence. ● In this case, the female line referred to the heirs of the elder brother of Charles VI, Emperor Joseph I. ● But the Salic law excluded women of the royal family from inheriting the throne. But if the various Habsburk territories and the Imperial Diet granted approval, then exceptions would be made. ● Emperor Joseph's death in 1711 left two potential female heirs, Maria Josepha and Maria Amalia. But in April 1713, the Pragmatic Sanction was issued by Charles, which allowed female inheritance by the progeny of Charles VI.

REGIO Ideological and Territorial Cohesion of Silesia vol. 3 eds Lucyna Harc, Przemysław Wiszewski, Rościsław Żerelik Silesia under the Authority of the Hohenzollerns (1741–1918) (1741–1918) Silesia under the Authority of Hohenzollerns vol. 3 Silesia under the Authority This volume contains a collection of studies which are the product of research of the Hohenzollerns (1741–1918) on the formation of Silesia as a region in the period 1740-1918. It is another portion of the summary of research undertaken by a team of Polish historians in conjunction with their participation in the programme of the European Science Foundation entitled Cuius regio. An analysis of the cohesive and disruptive forces determining the attachment and commitment of (groups of) persons to and the cohesion within regions. The project’s assumptions were for original analyses to be conducted on five factors significant in the functioning of the region: administration (Paweł Jaworski), economy (Teresa Kulak), social groups (Wanda Musialik and Dorota Schreiber-Kurpiers), ethnic issues (Dorota Schreiber-Kurpiers) and the national and cultural identity of the region’s inhabitants (Teresa Kulak). In each of the spheres analysed in this book, what has been demonstrated is the prevalence of disintegrating factors in the region from the period of its seizure by the armies of Frederick II until the conclusion of World War I. Top-down efforts undertaken by the authorities aimed at integrating the region with the Prussian state, and then with the Reich, did not fully achieve their objectives. The split into the two sub-regions of Upper and Lower Silesia would seem to be inevitable, in spite of particular unifying elements, particularly in the economic sphere during the second half of the 19ʰ and beginning of the 20ʰ century.

The first grouping (26) is the scenarios specifically focused for play against the A/I. Sripts are in place for both sides of the A/I specific scenarios, but some scenarios are noted as best played from one side or the other. The second grouping (52) is all of the scenarios with variants and hypothetical situations included. 001.Lobositz-AI - October 1, 1756 - 54 turns The Battle of Lobositz - Faced with the prospect of Russia and Austria launching a coordinated war against him in 1757, Frederick decided to launch a war to protect his conquest of Silesia in the fall of 1756. His first move was to isolate the Saxon army at Pirna. An Austrian relief army under Browne advanced to try to rescue the besieged Saxons. Frederick moved to drive off Browne, and on the morning of October 1, he faced what he thought to be the rearguard of Browne's retreating army near Lobositz. However, Browne was not retreating and he had his army in a very strong position. While Frederick held the field at the end of the day, he was served notice that the Austrians had improved greatly since the Second Silesian War. 002.Reichenberg-AI - April 21, 1757 - 20 turns The Battle of Reichenberg - When Frederick advanced into Bohemia to start the 1757 campaign the Austrians were still trying to gather their troops. One of those isolated corps, that of Count von Koenigsegg tried to delay a force of Prussians under Bevern at Reichenberg.

    12_Nations.txt 3/25/2010 The most famous ruler of this country won the Battle of Velbuzd in 1330 and married a princess of the nation defeated there, Helen. Theodore Metochites arranged the marriage of the five-year-old princess Simonis to one ruler of this country. One ruler of this country changed his title after capturing Serres, and a despot of Serres, John Ugljesa (oog-lye- sha), joined his brother in defeat at the battle of Chernomen. That leader, Vukashin, had a son who died at the battle of Rovine while allied with Mircea (meer-chuh) the Old of Wallachia. The most famous ruler of this land had the sobriquet "Silni," promulgated the Zakonik and allied with the Byzantine pretender John Cantacuzenus before conquering Albania and Macedonia. That king was succeeded by his son Urosh, and himself succeeded his father Milutin. Famously ruled by Stefan Dushan, under prince Lazar Hrebeljanovic it would suffer defeat by the Ottomans at the field of Kosovo. FTP, name this country whose modern day capital is Belgrade. Answer: Serbia (08Terrapin) This kingdom broke the treaty of Tudilen when its king James I conquered Caudete and Villena. This kingdom was founded by the son of Sancho the Great, Ramiro I, who added to it the counties of Sobrarbe and Ribagorza. In 1591, Felipe II invaded this kingdom so as to suppress a revolt there. Alfonso V of this kingdom conquered Naples and Sardinia in the 15th century, and Alfonso I conquered Zaragoza, which became its capital. Its fueros were abolished by the Nueva Planta decrees of Philip V, as punishment for siding with Charles VI in the War of the Spanish Succession.

On the one hand, the Commission of Historians examined the joint history of Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia, as well as the House of Liechtenstein, while on the other, they looked at the relations between both our countries in the 20th century. The commission's findings have contributed greatly towards better mutual understanding and have created a valuable basis for the continued cooperation between the two countries. The depth and thoroughness of this three-year work by the Commission of Historians is impressive, and this extensive publication sheds light on the remarkable and still visible mark that the House of Liechtenstein left behind on Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia.
