Causes of the War of the Austrian Succession.

In the 1740s, the war of the European states for the Austrian inheritance began. The reason for this battle was that Charles 6 died and gave the Austrian throne to his daughter Maria Terezi. This began to be disputed by other countries that claimed the territory of Austria in the 18th century. They fought to recognize Mary as the illegal ruler. England, France, Russia, Prussia, Austria, Bavaria, Spain took part in this conflict. But in the end, Mary retained power in her hands, and only Silesia and its region went to Prussia.
