| Summary | "History of Friedrich II of Prussia — Volume 12" by Thomas Carlyle is a historical account written during the mid-19th century. The book delves into the life and times of Frederick II, known as Frederick the Great, and focuses on significant historical events, particularly around the First Silesian War which began in December 1740. Carlyle's narrative captures the political and military maneuvers of Frederick as he seeks to secure Silesia for Prussia amidst the complexities of European power dynamics. The opening of the volume introduces Silesia, detailing its geographical characteristics and historical significance. Carlyle discusses the region's fertile lands and strategic importance, serving as a backdrop to Frederick's ambitions. As the narrative unfolds, we see Frederick preparing for a military incursion into Silesia, attended by his close military aides and an assortment of troops. The atmosphere is charged with anticipation and trepidation as Carlyle highlights Frederick's decisions and the contrasts between his charismatic leadership and the uncertain responses from the local authorities in Silesia. The stage is set for a conflict that would not only test Frederick's military capabilities but also shape the course of European history. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
