It is the summer of 1756. On the eve of the Seven Years War, half of Europe has formed an alliance. Frederick the Great is in deep sorrow: Is the annihilation of Prussia planned? Is it Prussia's defeat or is it Prussia's glory?

Shortly after the Seven Years War broke out: Frederick led Prussia to victory after victory, yet still the situation grew more and more desperate. Finally, when it seemed Frederick was at last beaten, fate intervened with the death of the Russian Tsarina, and with her death came the collapse of the alliance against Frederick, saving Prussia from annihilation.
