In 1740, a young King ascended to the Prussian throne. Within a few months, he unleashed an enormous war against Europe's most powerful dynasty, the Habsburg Monarchy. The war would change European history forever. Prussian King Frederick II would become Frederick the Great, and his two Silesian Wars were the beginning of Prussia's rise to Great Power status.
This documentary features the collection of battles of Prussia's First, and Second Silesian Wars. These include famous historical battles such as Frederick the Great's Battle of Mollwitz and the Battle of Hohenfriedberg. It also covers more obscure battles such as the Battle of Chotusitz, Battle of Soor and Battle of Kesselsdorf.
