As a Military Historian I rely on a summary of the historical fact, I analyze and highlight the decisive factors, before simulating hypotheses what if…
hypotheses through a board game. In the simulation, all possibilities of the purpose of the study are completed, when the past of history is analyzed based on the theory of the present and projected for similar situations in the future. Since 2010 I have published the following series of simulations: I. Historical Simulation of the Wars of the First Empires; II. Historical Simulation of the Wars in Classical Greece; III. Historical Simulation of the Roman Wars; IV. Historical Simulation of Wars in the Medieval Era; V. Historical Simulation of Wars in the Modern Era (1453 to 1774); VI. Historical Simulation of Wars in the Age of Revolutions (1775 to 1860); VII. Historical Simulation of Wars in the Industrial Age (1861 to 1913); VIII. Historical Simulation of the First World War; IX. Historical Simulation of World War II; X. Historical Simulation of the Cold War (1917 to 1991); and XI. Historical Simulation of Contemporary Wars (1991 to ...). Keywords: History. Art of War. Science of War. War

HISTORICAL FACT
The Silesian Wars (1740 to 1763)
Were three conflicts fought in the mid-18th century between Prussia (under King Frederick the Great
) and Habsburg Austria (under Archduchess Maria Theresa) for control of the Silesian region in Central Europe (now in southwestern Poland).
Img 1: Europe in 1738.
The First (1740–1742) and Second (1744–1745) Silesian Wars formed part of the War of the Austrian Succession, in which Prussia was a member of a coalition seeking

territorial gains at Austria's expense. The Third Silesian War (1756-1763) was one of the Theaters of Operations of the global Seven Years' War, in which Austria, in turn, led a coalition of powers with the aim of conquering Prussian territory.
Img 2: Silesia, focus of discord.
In the early 18th century, the House of Hohenzollern, ruler of Brandenburg-Prussia, held dynastic claims to several duchies in the Habsburg province of Silesia, a populous and prosperous region contiguous to the central Prussian territory in the margraviate of Brandenburg.

In addition to its value as a source of tax revenue, industrial production, and military recruits, Silesia had great geostrategic importance for several parties.
Img 3: Maria Theresa in 1744 and Frederick in 1745.
The upper Oder River valley formed a natural military axis between Brandenburg, the Kingdom of Bohemia and the Marquesate of Moravia. Silesia also lay along the northeastern border of the Holy Roman Empire, allowing its controller to limit the influence of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Russian Empire within Germany. Frederick saw the female succession of Austria as an opportune moment for the conquest of Silesia, calling it a sign for the complete transformation of the ancient political system
in a 1740 letter to the philosopher Voltaire. He argued that the Pragmatic Sanction did not

apply to Silesia, which was held by the Habsburg as part of the imperial domain and not as a hereditary possession.
Img 4: Europe in 1763.
Frederick also argued that his father, King Frederick William I, had agreed to that sanction in exchange for assurances of Austrian support for Hohenzollern claims to the Rhenish duchies of Jülich and Berg along the River Rhine, which had not yet materialized. Meanwhile, Prince-Elector Charles Albert of Bavaria and Prince-Elector Frederick Augustus II of Saxony married Maria Theresa's older cousins from a senior branch of the House of Habsburg, and they used these connections to justify claims to the territory of the Habsburg in the absence of a male heir.

Frederick Augustus, who ruled Poland in personal union, was especially interested in gaining control of Silesia to connect his two kingdoms into a contiguous territory (which would almost surround
