Second Silesian War

edit
  • ... that in 1745 King Frederick II of Prussia came to be known as "Frederick the Great" after defeating Austria and Saxony in the Second Silesian War? Source: "Friedrich has now, by his Second Silesian War, achieved Greatness: 'Friedrich the Great;' expressly so denominated, by his People and others." (Carlyle, Thomas (1858). History of Friedrich II of Prussia, Called Frederick the Great. Vol. Book XVI.)

  • Absolutely doesn't matter if its a GA yet as it qualifies as a new article through being made from a redirect and submitted in time. Length certainly fine. AGF on book source. QPQ done, no close paraphrasing that I could find. Good to go. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 08:01, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
