Prussian expansionism leads to competition with Habsburg…

1684 CE to 1827 CE

Prussian expansionism leads to competition with Habsburg Austria, the other great power within the German empire.

The competition culminates, fifty years later, in the Seven Years' War (1756-63).

Fought by Prussia under Frederick II (Frederick the Great, 1740-86) against Austria, Russia, and France, the conflict demonstrates the superiority of the disciplined Prussian armies.
