Peace Treaty After War of Austrian Succession
The 1748 Aix-la-Chapelle peace ended eight years of conflict sparked by Frederick the Great’s invasion of Silesia and the Pragmatic Sanction crisis. Maria Theresa rallied Hungary as alliances shifted, Louis XV and England joined, and Louisburg fell to Pepperell.
