Article description: (description ) This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | The War of the Austrian Succession, also known as the War of Jenkins' Ear and the first two Silesian Wars, was waged from 1740-1748 over a combination of Central European rivalries and colonial competition between England and France. Emperor Charles VI died without male issue. He was succeeded by Maria Theresa, who claimed the throne based on the Pragmatic Sanction (pragmatic sanctions were temporary amendments to the constitution of the Holy Roman Empire enacted by Imperial decree; in this case it was a temporary alteration in the succession laws) which her father had made on her behalf. Recognition of the Sanction was bought by The Emperor from the states of Europe at high cost in concession. |
