Maria Theresa, the only female ruler of the Habsburg dominions, was involved in the War of the Austrian Succession (1740–1748). This conflict arose following her ascension to the throne, as several European powers contested her right to rule. The war saw Austria fighting against a coalition that included Prussia, France, and Spain, ultimately leading to significant territorial and political ramifications for Austria and its rivals. Maria Theresa's leadership during this tumultuous period solidified her reputation as a determined and capable monarch.
