Battle of Lobositz
The Battle of Lobositz (Lovosice) was the opening battle of the Seven Years' War, fought on 1 October 1756 between a Prussian army of about 29,000 men led by Frederick the Great and an Austrian army of 34,500 men led by Field Marshal von Browne. Because the Prussians achieved their objective of preventing the Austrian army from substantially relieving the besieged army of its Saxon allies, the battle is considered to be a Prussian victory.
