Focusing on the early years of Maria Theresa's reign from 1740 to 1748, the narrative highlights her unexpected rise to military leadership during the 'Eight Years' War.' Initially inexperienced in warfare, she faced extraordinary challenges in preserving her father's legacy. As she navigated these trials, Maria Theresa developed a deep commitment to her army, ultimately expressing her passion for military affairs over other state matters.
