MODERN EUROPEAN HISTORY: ESSAY #4
|
|
|
|
The Great War for Empire was one of the most important factors in
|
|
shaping the economic and political futures for all of Europe in the
|
|
eighteenth century and for all time to come. In this essay I will discuss
|
|
the causes, the events, and finally the results of this important war,
|
|
which consisted of the War of Austrian Succession and the Seven Years' War.
|
|
|
|
The War of the Austrian Succession began as King Frederick II gained
|
|
the throne to Prussia, and in less than a year ordered his troops to take
|
|
and occupy the large Austrian province of Silesia. The leader of Austria
|
|
was Maria Theresa; Although she was an inexperienced leader, she was
|
|
capable of arousing other groups (like the Magyars of Hungary) to help her
|
|
not re-take Silesia, but to maintain the Hapsburg dynasty as a major
|
|
political power. France was also one of these powers to fight, they did not
|
|
want a powerful army to emerge in Prussia and to ever become an strong
|
|
enemy (ironically, that's just what happens). The wealthy British
|
|
merchants pushed England to financially assist the Prussian aggressors, in
|
|
the hope of weakening France and winning other fights off-continent.
|
|
|
|
The causes which led up to the Seven Years' War, were very similar to
|
|
those just eight years previously. King Frederick invaded another
|
|
province, Saxony, and this triggered another alliance between Austria and
|
|
France with the goal to totally destroy Prussia. There was also a growing
|
|
conflict facing France and Great Britain that would continue to increase
|
|
in momentum. This war was the prelude to what American would call "The
|
|
French and Indian War" in which these two European countries would fight
|
|
for land in the Americas.
|
|
|
|
The events of the War of Austrian Succession, fortuitously for France,
|
|
worked out exactly as Great Britain planned it. The French resources of
|
|
war were divided between the Americas and the fight against Prussia. The
|
|
eight year war was a fight between the superior army and resources of Great
|
|
Britain and the strategic mastery of French generals, like Marshal Maurice
|
|
de Saxe, who led many successful battles. The war eventually ended in a
|
|
stalemate, with Austria not regaining Silesia, but it definitely proven
|
|
itself able to fend off any other battles from Prussia--thanks to Great
|
|
Britain's help. The war brought to a peace by the Treaty of Aix-la-
|
|
Chapelle.
|
|
|
|
In the Seven Years' War, the issues was simply the survival of
|
|
Prussia, surrounded by three powerful enemies, Austria, France, and Russia.
|
|
Prussia began winning the war for many battles, but eventually it began to
|
|
suffer great defeats from being overwhelmed by enemies. Prussia survived,
|
|
however, because of Great Britain's financial help, and the
|
|
enemy-turned-friend empire of Russia, thanks to a new leader. Prussia
|
|
managed to stay strong again and the war ended with the Treaty of Paris.
|
|
|
|
These two wars resulted in changing or putting many major countries
|
|
involved in a different level of power. Austria was without major land it
|
|
once had, but had not developed more independence. Prussia had gained land
|
|
and turned the Holy Roman Empire into an empty shell. France was put in a
|
|
minor disorder, and was much worse off then previously. England benefitted
|
|
the most by "distracting" French forces in the Americas and gaining a great
|
|
amount of land; England became known as a true world power.
|
|
|
|
The results of the Great War for Empire changed the economic and
|
|
political destinies of many countries of Europe. I believe that this
|
|
entire war completely changed the destiny of the United States in the long
|
|
term, and thankfully it did.
