Searching through the comments, I don't think we did! I appear to have mentioned "War of the Austrian Succession" in passing once, without explaining what it was, in reference to something else (relevant to the comment I left 5 minutes ago, so you might want to reread to put the pieces together), and without including MT. So, it was about time we explained that one.
There's a lot to keep straight! We've been mostly going for the characterization/fandom type anecdotes, and sneaking in the military and political history in bits and pieces. This was the first time I thought you had enough context on events and personalities that a chronology would be 1) comprehensible and 2) interesting, instead of boring. Like, you can really see Fritz's personality (and to a lesser extent MT's) reflected in a close reading of those dates!
