But instead, at the imperial election, supported Francis Stephen’s thought of Austria’s restoration of the conquest to Bavaria.
Frederick feared the growing power of Austria, and entered the war again. This Second Silesian War, was resolved by December of 1745. The Treaty of Dresden, on the same day and month, resolved this problem. This treaty made it so that Prussia had possession of Silesia. Silesia was one of Habsburg’s richest provinces.
Savoy and the Austrians united in September of 1743. Because of this, the French were withdrawing towards their borders. Charles-Louis-Auguste Fourquet made an alliance with Spain, and with Bavaria. Charles-Louis-Auguste Fourquet also made an alliance with Saxony and also with Prussia to defeat Austria.
European powers have been wanting to break apart the power of the Habsburg Empire. In 1741, Maria Theresa has to deal with the forces from the Bavarians, the French, and also the Prussians.
In June of 1741, the French and Bavarians go through Bohemia, and in order to get there, they had to go through Austria. Both the French and Bavarian armies finally entered
Austria was one of the strongest empires in Europe in early 19th century and most of the small European states had rulers from Hapsburg dynasty so Austria had a lot of influence. Letting Nationalistic feelings to rise anywhere in Europe meant that soon those feelings would rise up in Austria
Archduke Franz Ferdinand was the heir to the throne of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1896. He was a threat to the Black Hand Terrorist group, a group of radical Serbian nationalists. They pledged “to destabilize the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Ottoman Empire in order to incorporate their Serb population into a greater Serbia” (CITE) However the Archduke’s goals were “strengthening the Austro-Hungarian Empire” (CITE) which was contrary to the Serbs' desires. They feared that if he came into power, he would continue to persecute the Serbs, henceforth the decision to assassinate him.
The debate surrounding Palacký’s response was mainly concerned with the formation of nation states. Specifically, whether or not Austria should or would form a political alliance with Germany. Would Germany remain small with a Prussian leadership or become larger by the unification with Austria. In fact the purpose of the initial invitation was to gain the support the Czechs in order to build a superior nation state. During this period the Austrian Empire saw a variety of diverse ethnicities, some of which held a dominating majority, such as Germany. The Czechs at this time were also a predominant ethnic group and had been encouraged to hold a sense of pride in relation to their language and literature almost as a means of separating them from Germans, a reminder of sorts of their heritage and refusal of ‘German manners and regimen’.

The German confederation backed Austria so Bismarck had what he wanted an excuse
From Baron von Giesl’s point of view, the only way to make things turn in favor of Austria-Hungary was to attack Serbia while they were too busy putting Austria down. The letter that Giesl wrote to Berchtold provides an important look into what Austrian officials were thinking right before the start of World War I. Whether or not the assumption that Serbia was a threat that only war could eliminate was a widespread belief throughout Austria-Hungary, it ultimately led the Austrian officials to decide it was the correct approach.
Austria could no exercise its right to eradicate revolutionary activity and it was aided by its ideal geo-political position. However in February 1848 a successful revolution in France triggered off violent disorder elsewhere in Europe. These revolutions in France were previous thought to have triggered a series of ‘copy cat’ revolutions over Europe, however historians now believe hey were the result of the conditions of many of the European countries were very similar. This most prominent of the revolutions saw Austrian Emperor Metternich toppled and forced to flee Vienna, causing a temporary power vacuum. This allowed German nationalist to seize control as no longer could German leaders rely on Austrian muscle to uphold their regimes.
England, Austria, and Prussia then formed an alliance with Russia against Napoleon, who rebuilt his armies and won several minor victories over the Allies, but was soundly defeated in a three-day battle at Leipzig. On March 30, 1814, Paris was captured by the Allies. Napoleon then lost the support of most of his generals and was forced to abdicate on Apr...
-With the ending of the Seven Years ' War in 1763, they wanted to preservation of a fragile alliance between Austria and France became a priority for Empress Maria Theresa; cementing alliances through matrimonial connections was a common practice among European royal families at the time (Editors, 2016).

Frederick II, the Great, overcame the resource limitations within Prussia by mastering three aspects of the western way of war: the ability to finance war, possessing a highly disciplined military, and an aggressive mindset toward achieving quick decisive victory, which established Prussia as a major European power. Frederick II accomplished this feat while being surrounded by powerful neighbors that possessed larger populations, armies, and financial excess. His initial assessment on the state of his Prussian inheritance from his personal writings follows:
The alliance system ideated by the German chancellor Otto von Bismarck kept peace in Europe but its main aim was, however, to forestall the possibility that, in the event of war, Germany would have to fight it on two fronts (basically France and Russia). This was achieved by diplomatically isolating France so that its dream of recapturing its lost provinces of Alsace-Lorraine couldn't be fulfilled. This was done by, firstly, the creation of the League of the Three Emperors or Dreikaiserbund. It was first projected as a meeting of the monarchs of Germany, Austria-Hungary and Russia in 1872 and confirmed the following year, the 22nd of October 1873. Here, the very general and formless agreement was given a more solid form by military agreements promising to help any country attacked by a fourth party. And all this even though that there was mutual rivalry between Russia and Austria-Hungary in the Balkans. This proved to be a concrete way to isolate France for as E. Eyck mentions, "the League ensured that neither Austria-Hungary nor Russia was available as an ally for France". At this point, Bismarck didn't consider Britain as a potential French ally as they had a long history of rivalry. Secondly, in 1887 the Reinsurance Treaty was signed with Russia in which it promised to support Russia's claims to the strait and to remain neutral in the event of war unless it attacked Austria-Hungary, the same with Russia, who promised to remain neutral unless it attacked France.
Mindfulness interventions are gaining increasing support for the reason that it teaches an essential skill that benefits an individual’s mental health. By participating in learning and practicing mindfulness, the individual consequently fosters a skill. That is, learning to recognize emotions and behaviors and then self-monitor them with a mindful and non-judgmental awareness. These interventions have the potential to develop an individual’s greater self-awareness, increased impulse control and decrease emotional reactivity to difficult situations (396). Although clinicians consider mindfulness analogous to various established approaches, Thompson and Gilbert accentuate the importance of separating mindfulness from other techniques. In particular,
