The Silesian Wars ((ドイツ語:Schlesische Kriege)) refer to three wars between Prussia and Austria for control of Silesia in the mid-18th century that ended in Prussian victory for all three wars: * First Silesian War, 1740–1742 * Second Silesian War, 1744–1745 * Third Silesian War, 1756–1763 The first two can be viewed in the context of the larger War of the Austrian Succession, while the "Third Silesian War" is better known as the Seven Years' War. Silesia was strategically important to Prussia because "it significantly blunted the capacity of Prussia's two chief foes—Austria and Russia—to meddle in Prussian affairs".〔;〕 Prussian victory (and possession of Silesia) foreshadowed a wider struggle for control over the German-speaking peoples that would culminate in the Austro-Prussian War of 1866. == First Silesian War == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Silesian Wars」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
