Rise of Prussia Windows game

Rise of Prussia is the latest release from AGEOD, and is a follow-up to their successful historical strategy games Birth of America, American Civil War, Napoleon's Campaigns, and Wars in America. Rise of Prussia covers the European campaigns of the Seven Years’ War (1756-1763).

The Seven Years War was the first global conflict. It had two main fronts :

• The first, in Europe, centering on the hostility between Prussia and Austria (still simmering after the War of the Austrian Succession) expanded through alliances to include all of Europe.
• The second front involved the colonial rivalries between Britain, France and Spain, known in America as the French and Indian War (Cf. Wars in America©).

The Seven Years War started with a flurry of diplomatic activity which resulted in a diplomatic revolution and the reversal of the alliances of the War of the Austrian Succession.

First Britain and Prussia formed an alliance (January 1756), followed by France and Austria, who had previously been traditional enemies. The fighting started with Frederick II of Prussia's invasion and defeat of Saxony (August-October 1756), although the main European conflict did not start until the following year.
