Мария Терезия: женщина, которая изменила Европу | Полная история правительницы Габсбургов

Maria Theresa Walburga Amalia Christina was Archduchess of Austria, Queen of Hungary and Bohemia, and the only woman in the history of the Habsburg dynasty to inherit a vast, war-ravaged empire. She was 23 years old when her father, Charles VI, died, and almost all of Europe rose up against her. She reigned for 40 years, implementing military, tax, judicial, and educational reforms. She gave birth to 16 children. She lost her husband and six children, and never regained Silesia, a province taken from her by Frederick II of Prussia. But she held on to a state that everyone around her was rushing to tear apart. #MariaTheresa #Habsburgs #HistoryofAustria #HistoryofEurope #WarofAustrianSuccession #FrederickII #SevenYearsWar #MarieAntoinette #EnlightenedAbsolutism #Reformsof18thCentury #JosephII #HabsburgDynasty #Empress #QueenofHungary #QueenofBohemia
