Description

Frederick the Great. The campaigns of King Frederick II were more than the zenith of 18th century warfare, they were a watershed in the history of Europe. They inaugurated a new pattern of military thinking—of total war for limited objectives—that would endure until 1916. The issue would, on a chronological basis, describe Frederick's military operations and battles of the War of the Austrian Succession (1740-1748) and the Seven Years War (1756-63). By the King's death in 1786 Prussia had doubled its size and was overtaking Austria for leadership of the German speaking lands of Central Europe. The issue would include the military operations of Frederick during the period covered as well as, briefly, the King's political and diplomatic motivations. Sidebars would provide portraits of the major military leaders of the contending powers in the conflicts, and the composition of the major armies (Prussia, Austria, Russia, France, England) which fought, along with tactics and weapons will be presented.
