The Austro-Prussian War of 1866, also known as the Seven Weeks' War, was a conflict between the Kingdom of Prussia and the Austrian Empire, primarily over the control of German territories and leadership within the German Confederation. It resulted from rising tensions due to Prussia's desire to exclude Austria from German affairs, leading to a quick and decisive Prussian victory. The war culminated in the Treaty of Prague, which significantly diminished Austrian influence in Germany and led to the establishment of the North German Confederation under Prussian leadership. This conflict was a crucial step toward the unification of Germany, completed in 1871.
