	War of the Austrian Succession, 1740-18 October 1748
		War triggered by the accession of Maria Theresa to the vast Habsburg lands centred on Austria after the death of her father, the Holy Roman Emperor Charles VI.
		The war now turned, and in 1742 Austria invaded Bavaria, the Prussians withdrew from the war in return for Silessia, and the French were forced into a retreat ended by defeat at the battle of Dettingen (27 June 1743).
		Charles VII died in 1745, pulling Bavaria out of the war, but the French were victorious at the battle of Fontenoy (11 May 1745), defeating a combined British and Austrian army and in combination with the second Jacobite revolt, ended Britain's direct military intervention on the continent.

		In the war for the Austrian succession itself, France unsuccessfully supported the dubious claims of Bavaria, Saxony, and Spain to parts of the Habsburg domain and supported the claim of Charles Albert, elector of Bavaria, to the imperial crown, all with the overall aim of crippling or destroying Austria, France's long-standing continental enemy.
		The Austrian ruler Maria Theresa (daughter of Charles VI) derived her main foreign support from Britain, which feared that, if the French achieved hegemony in Europe, the British commercial and colonial empire would be untenable.
		Thus, the War of the Austrian Succession was, in part, one phase of the struggle between France and Britain that lasted from 1689 to 1815.

		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.

	H-Net Review: William J. McGill on The War of the Austrian Succession, 1740-1748
		The names we commonly give the wars of the old regime seldom epitomize accurately or explain sufficiently those conflicts, and this is abundantly true of "The War of the Austrian Succession." No central theme or single conflict binds together the multiplicity of rivalries, tensions, struggles, dynastic and diplomatic machinations that constitute the war.
		Anderson observes that the complexities of the war and its apparent lack of decisive results have too easily led to the conclusion that it was unimportant.
		Anderson remarks that "The war of the Austrian Succession therefore made international relations more fluid by eroding old assumptions and certainties." More succinctly, the War of the Austrian Succession was the proof-text for the necessity of the Diplomatic Revolution of 1756.
