Prague, Battle of

Years: 1757 - 1757

In the Battle of Prague or Battle of Štěrboholy on May 6, 1757, Frederick the Great's sixty-seven thousand Prussians force sixty thousand Austrians to retreat, but having lost fourteen thousand three hundred men, decide he is not strong enough to attack Prague.

The battle will be mentioned in the famous German ballad Lenore written in 1773 by Gottfried August Burger.

"We cannot be certain of being right about the future; but we can be almost certain of being wrong about the future, if we are wrong about the past."

—G. K. Chesterton, What I Saw in America (1922)
