He had demanded Maria Theresa to cede the territory to Prussia in exchange for the recognition of the Pragmatic Sanction that gave Maria Theresa control of the Hapsburg dominions. When she refused, he invade Silesia.
The two nations that set the stage for the Seven Years' War through their battle for control of Silesia were Prussia and Austria. The conflict began with Frederick II of Prussia's invasion of Silesia in 1740, which challenged Austria's longstanding claim to the region. This struggle for dominance over Silesia was a key factor that escalated into the broader global conflict of the Seven Years' War, involving multiple countries and theaters of war.
