War of the Austrian Succession

The War of the Austrian Succession was a conflict between the European great powers from 1740 to 1748 over the succession to the Austrian throne. It was primarily fought in Europe, the Atlantic Ocean, and the Mediterranean Sea and began as a result of Maria Theresa's succession as ruler of the Habsburg monarchy, which was challenged by France, Prussia, and Bavaria. Maria Theresa was backed by Britain, the Dutch Republic, and Hanover, which were collectively known as the Pragmatic Allies. As the conflict widened, it drew in other participants such as Spain, Savoy, Saxony, Sweden, and Russia.[1]

The Templar Haytham Kenway became involved in the war as he searched for his half-sister Jennifer Scott across Europe. He notably fought in the Siege of Bergen op Zoom alongside the British troops commanded by fellow Templar Edward Braddock, though he was appalled by the atrocities he witnessed, which were perpetrated by Braddock and his men. After the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle brought the war to a close in 1748, Haytham continued to serve with Braddock for a time and grew concerned that the latter was turning his back on the Templars.[2]
