	Breton Identity Yan Kraffe & Friends
		Breton identity is, in a way, an outlaw identity because the French conceptions of the citizenship do not allow any double affiliation, as a federal system would : we are French citizens, and that's all.
		The Bretons refused to bend under the yoke and to become the vassals of their powerful neighbours: they regularly overcame the domination of the Franks.
		The war lasted 24 years, and in spite of the support of Du Guesclin for the Penthièvre family, the Monfort family finally won the war after the battle at Auray, 1364.

	Literary Encyclopedia: War of the Austrian Succession
		What we now term the War of the Austrian Succession was a conglomeration of related wars, two of which (the two Silesian Wars) developed directly from the death of Charles (Karl) VI, Holy Roman Emperor and leader of the Austrian branch of the house of Hapsburg, in October 1740.
		In the war for the Austrian succession itself, France unsuccessfully supported the claims of Prussia, Saxony and Spain to parts of the Hapsburg dominions, with the overall intent of crippling their long–standing continental enemy, Austria.
		With hindsight, the war proved to be a learning curve in terms of naval strategy, and served as a prolegomenon to the Seven Years War, where Britain would stamp her authority on international trade.
