aug 29, 1744 - 5B. Prussia re-enter the war (2nd time), Aug 1744

Description:

Why he came back:
He feared that:
• Austria was recovering
• Maria Theresa might try to take Silesia back
• Austria’s victories over France and Bavaria might shift the balance

So Frederick struck first to keep Austria weak.
This second round is called the Second Silesian War (1744–1745)
