I own nothing
Foreword
The Austrian War of Succession
At times, as in Austria religious minorities were being persecuted, in France the decadence of the court ruined the whole country, in Spain the Inquisition was still dominating, in England the enslavement of the Irish and Scots peaked and in Poland the corruption and selfishness the noble caste made the country a shattered one- at these times Prussia managed to abolish the torture and develop religious tolerance, scholar education and neutral jurisdiction.
And of course, Prussia, the always fighting country, also used its efficient army.
1740: The death of Charles VI Habsburg; his daughter Maria Theresia takes over the government. In order to ensure his inheritance rights on Silesia, the Prussian king, Frederick II, invaded Austrian territory without waiting for negotiations.
In the following first Silesian War he defended his right stubbornly, together with his steady allies France and Spain. So that after countless defeats Maria Theresa was forced to make peace in 1742.
The whole of Silesia passed into the ownership of Prussia, with the exception of some southern outskirts. This area was called Austrian-Silesia.
However, Frederick II had underestimated the vigor of Maria Theresa. Another confrontation followed.
But even the second Silesian War brought no change of possession and territory, only losses for Austria.
1747 the threat of Russian intervention forced Prussia to retreat.
Ceasefire: The armies wait for the final command of the king.
Attack or retreat?
Author Note
I wish you a wonderful wednesday evening, dear Fanfictioners!
A thanks to everyone who read or scrolled through this.
Since this text plays in an history!AU, I thought some overview over 1740's europe wouldn't harm. It's the translation of my fanfiction that I already wrote in German(link on my profile). Right now it counts 77.000 worde and it keeps going. I'll try to translate as fast as I can, but I can't promise no mistakes. If you see some grammar fails, please message me.
I do my best to research and keep myself informed about this time as much as possible. So the historical characters won't be fucked up in their personalities.
Although I had to make them 15 years older than they actually were. For the storyline:/
I cannot promise that all Hetaliacharacters will be 100% Hima. But I was diving in the wiki to learn as much about them as possible. I think they will be in their characters most of the time but as the story goes on there could be slight differences, because they are just human. They were educated and grew up in that century so I warn you. There will be no " I'm awesome!" screaming Prussia. Or a n angry frying-panning Hungary.
This story will have a lot of characters and various pairings in it. It was THE century of arranged marriage. But I ain't gonna spoil:D
'naff talking!
Reviews are always welcome!
Have a nice day! Be reading youuu~
