Great Britain, not willing to allow the strengthening of France, so far from the beginning of the war gave Austria monetary subsidies, and now decided to take a more active part in the war: a 43 thousand-strong army (the so-called Pragmatic) was assembled in Flanders under the command of the English king.
France declares war on Great Britain, the United Provinces and Austria. And contributes to the signing of the Frankfurt Union between the Holy Roman Empire, Bavaria and Prussia, the purpose of which was "to support the emperor and the integrity of the Holy Roman Empire"
In response, on January 8th, 1745, the members of the Quadruple Alliance: Great Britain, Austria, the Dutch Republic and Saxony, signed the Warsaw Pact in order to support the recognition of the pragmatic sanction and support the candidacy of Maria Theresa to the throne of the Austrian Empire.
On August 23rd, 1744, 70 thousand Prussians entered Bohemia without declaring war, which was the beginning of the Second Silesian War.
