Private Notes
Frederick, Crown Prince of Brandenburg-Prussia will become a warrior king and an enlightened monarch that the likes of Prussia has never seen. His climb to power would be great but his childhood was not so easy. He would live with mistrust and violence at his heels. With relentless bullying from his own flesh and blood.
Frederick the Great would start a fire that would burn through the world but there was one thing standing in his way, his father. After developing a fascination with strategy battlefield tactics and leadership during the War of Polish Succession he was ready to become king. He'd studied philosophy, writing his own book. Hired architects, artists, and planned to fund science and education. However, Frederick soon found being king and talking about battle tactics was very different than waging your first battle.
April 11th 1741, After The Battle of Mollwitz Frederick, had learned a great deal about war and the people of the world were enthralled by such a small power like Prussia taking over Silesia. Frederick had succeeded at putting Prussia on the map! The first of many great things to come.
Berlin, December 28th 1746. Frederick the Great has become a common name but this was only the beginning, as a great monarch cannot know peace for long. In 1756 Europe's first world war had begun and Frederick was confident in his military. Priding himself on innovating troops and insuring his military was quick to react but Silesia would continue to be an issue.
The Battle of Kolin, June 18th 1757. Frederick's army is on the run. The Third Silesian War marked Frederisk's most legendary victories and catastrophic retreats with the Prussians losing nearly 14,000 men but that's not all!! We're going to be going over The Seven Years' War in the most epic sports matchup ever! - Let's get ready to rumble!
Frederick the Greats Horse, Mollwitz Grey, wasn't horsing around when it came to saving his king!
