Years: 1866 - 1866
June
Prussia's Chief of the General Staff, Helmuth von Moltke, orders both armies under his command to Gitschin (Jičín) near the Austrian positions on June 22, a daring maneuver undertaken to limit the war's duration despite the risk of one army being overtaken en route.
Fortunately for Prussia, Benedek is indecisive and fails to use his superior numbers to eliminate the Prussian armies individually.
