Maria Theresa was the only possible heir to Austria, a problem under Salic Law (Only men could rule). The pragmatic sanction let her rule, but maintained Salic Law. She fougt War of Austrian Succession which did little except to show Austria was still important. Really she held the country together for her son Joesph II who was the only true enlightened despot
