Frederick the Great: The Battle of Torgau, 1760 ⚔️ (Part 19)

The Battle of Torgau was a pivotal conflict between two of the most powerful European states of the time - the Kingdom of Prussia and the Habsburg Empire. The army of King Frederick the Great of Prussia clashed with the might of the Austrian army, led by Field Marshal Leopold Josef Graf Daun.

This battle, waged during the Third Silesian War as part of the infamous Seven Years' War, would go down in history as one of the most brutal and blood-soaked conflicts of its time. With tensions running high, the battle saw two large armies engage in a brutal struggle for control over the strategic location of Torgau in Germany. As both sides fought fiercely to achieve their objectives, the battle proved to be a critical moment in the wider conflict, with the fate of the war hanging in the balance.
