Frederick faces widespread criticism for his attack on neutral Saxony and for his forcible incorporation of the Saxon forces into the Prussian army following the Siege of Pirna in October 1756.
Britain had been surprised by the sudden Prussian offensive but now begins shipping supplies and six hundred and seventy thousand pounds (equivalent to eighty nine million, nine hundred thousand dollars in 2016) to its new ally.
Despite the huge disparity in numbers, the year has been successful for the Prussian-led forces on the continent, in contrast to the British campaigns in North America.
