Detailed explanation-1: -The Third Silesian War (part of the Seven Years’ War of 1756–1763) confirmed Prussian control over most of Silesia. As a result, the annexed part of Silesia ceased being part of the Holy Roman Empire and was ruled by Frederick not as a duke of the Empire but as king of Prussia.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Seven Years’ War officially began when Frederick the Great of Prussia invaded Saxony on August 29, 1756. He then invaded Bohemia in 1757. He routed the Austrians at the Battle of Prague in May but was defeated by the Austrians at the Battle of Kolín in June.
Detailed explanation-3: -The war began with a Prussian invasion of Habsburg Silesia in late 1740, and it ended in a Prussian victory with the 1742 Treaty of Berlin, which recognised Prussia’s seizure of most of Silesia and parts of Bohemia.
Detailed explanation-4: -Czech Silesia is now part of the Czech Republic, forming part of the Moravian-Silesian Region and the northern part of the Olomouc Region.
