 History of Friedrich II by Thomas Carlyle: FIRST SILESIAN WAR, AWAKENING A GENERAL EUROPEAN ONE, BEGINS Chapter 10 ...
Of the Battle of Mollwitz, as indeed of all Friedrich`s Battles, there are ample accounts new and old, of perfect authenticity and scientific exactitude; so that in regard to military points the due clearness is, on study, completely attainable.
Mollwitz is some seven miles north from Pogarell; intermediate lie dusty fractions of Villages more than one; two miles or more from Mollwitz we come to Pampitz on our left, the next considerable, if any of them can be counted considerable.
Mollwitz and such places are full of veracity; and no head is so thick as to resist conviction in that kind.

 Schlacht bei Mollwitz - Wikipedia
In der Schlacht bei Mollwitz, einem Dorf in der früheren preußischen Provinz Schlesien (heute Malujovice, Polen), 20 km südöstlich von Breslau errang Friedrich der Große den entscheidenden Sieg im Ersten Schlesischen Krieg am 10.
April 1741, durch den er das kurz zuvor besetzte Schlesien behauptete.
Der König verließ in diesem kritischen Augenblick, Graf von Schwerin gedrängt, der ihn der Möglichkeit einer Niederlage entziehen wollte, das Schlachtfeld, um sich nach Oppeln zu begeben, fand jedoch diesen Ort schon besetzt, ritt deshalb nach Mitternacht nach Mollwitz zurück und erfuhr auf dem Weg in Löwen die Nachricht, dass die Schlacht gewonnen sei.

On his release he returned to Berlin, and thence to Paris, where he was elected director of the Academy of Sciences in 1742, and in the following year was admitted into the Académie française.

 History of Friedrich II of Prussia V 12 - Chapter XI.
Not that Mollwitz kindled Europe; Europe was already kindled for some two years past;--especially since the late Kaiser died, and his Pragmatic Sanction was superadded to the other troubles afoot.
Independently of Mollwitz, or of Silesia altogether, it was next to impossible that Europe could long avoid blazing out; especially unless the Spanish-English quarrel got quenched, of which there was no likelihood.
For, directly on the back of Mollwitz, there ensued, first, an explosion of Diplomatic activity such as was never seen before; Excellencies from the four winds taking wing towards Friedrich; and talking and insinuating, and fencing and fugling, after their sort, in that Silesian Camp of his, the centre being there.

After the near disaster at the Battle Mollwitz (April, 1741), Frederick devotes himself to improving the quality of his cavalry ("damnably awful," he calls it).
It was then that the ten-squadron strong regiment of Beyreuth Dragoons, noticing the shaken Austrian infantry to their front, launched a charge that effectively ended the battle by destroying or putting to flight all but 3 Austrian regiments who remained to cover the retreat.
Prussian cavalry had come a long way from Mollwitz, and their infantry was the envy of the world.

Here at Mollwitz, under his successor, they would have their first baptism of fire.
Frederick realized immediately that it was the victory of his father, the Soldier King, a triumph of military drill and the discipline of the Prussian infantry.

The latest and notablest of these, in regard to Mollwitz, is the pamphlet of a Dr.
That the King's frugal field-dinner was shot away, from its camp-table near Pampitz (as Fuchs has heard), is evidently mythical; and even impossible, the Austrians having yet no cannon within miles of him; and being intent on dining comfortably themselves, not on firing at other people's dinners.
His Son, as yet, adds nothing of his own; though he will ever henceforth begin largely adding,--right careful withal to lose nothing, for the Friedrich Wilhelm contribution is invaluable, and the basis of everything;--but it is curious to see in what contrast this first Battle of Friedrich's is with his latter and last ones.

Before 1730, all European troops used wooden ramrods; and the credit of the invention of iron ones is attributed by some to the Prince of Anhalt, and by others to Prince Leopold of Dessau.
The Prussians were the first to adopt the iron ramrod, and at the date of the battle of Mollwitz (1741) it had not been introduced into the Austrian service.

Friedrich, as we have often noticed, did not much pursue the defeated Austrians, at or near Mollwitz, or press them towards flat ruin in their Silesian business: it is clear he anxiously wished a bargain without farther exasperation; and hoped he might get it by judicious patience.
April 26th, 1741, in the same days while Belleisle arrived in the Camp at Mollwitz, and witnessed that fine opening of the cannonade upon Brieg, Excellency Hyndford got to Berlin; and on notifying the event, was invited by the King to come along to Breslau, and begin business.
Their relation to the then Sea-Powers, especially to England embarked on the Cause of Liberty, fills one with amazement, by no means of an idolatrous nature; and is difficult to understand at all, or to be patient with at all.

Refused by Austria, Frederick invaded Silesia, commencing the War of the Austrian Succession.
He led his forces to victory at Mollwitz in 1741 and at Chotusitz in 1742; in the latter year, by the Treaty of Breslau, Maria Theresa was obliged to yield the Silesian territory demanded by Prussia.
Frederick acquired East Friesland (now a region of Germany) in 1744, on the death of the last ruler without heirs of that principality, and in 1745 he fought and won a second war with Austria, terminated by the Peace of Dresden, which assured Prussia the possession of Silesia.
