The Battle of Lissa, fought on July 20, 1866, during the Austro-Prussian War, was primarily caused by the conflict between Austria and Prussia over dominance in the German states. The battle was part of a larger naval conflict, where Austria sought to maintain its influence in Italy and the Adriatic Sea, while Prussia aimed to assert its naval power and control over the region. The strategic importance of the Adriatic and the ongoing tensions between the two powers led to this significant naval engagement. Ultimately, it showcased the effectiveness of the Prussian navy and contributed to Austria's defeat in the war.
