From that time Austria and Prussia were involved in a long struggle for supremacy in Germany.In 1866 Prussian armies invades Saxony and then the Austrian Empire with the main battle occurring on 3rd July 1866 at Königgrätz with immense armies on both sides.www.patreon.com/historyeuropewww.historyeurope.netMusic composed by Johannes Brahms: Symphony No. 1 in C Minor, movements 3 and 4.
