To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


At this crisis Frederick was saved by the intervention of fortune. Frederick's implacable enemy, the Czarina Eliz- abeth, died January 5, 1762. Her successor, Peter III., who was an ardent admirer of the Prussian king, not only straightway detached his troops from the Austrians, and signed a peace, but went so far as to propose a treaty of alliance with the late enemy of Russia. Peter III! was soon overthrown (July, 1762), but although his successor, Cath- arine II., cancelled the Prussian alli
...ance, she allowed the peace to stand. This same year England and France came to an understanding (Prehminaries of Fontainebleau, 1762) and hostilities between them were at once suspended on all the seas. So there remained under arms only Aus- tria and Prussia, and as Austria could not hope to do unaided what she had failed to do with half of Europe at her side, Maria Theresa, although with heavy heart, resolved to come to terms. In the Peace of Hubertsburg (February, 1763), the cession of Silesia to Frederick was made final.
