Description: A map of Central Europe during the War of 1866, also referred to as the Austro–Prussian War, the Seven Weeks War, or the German Civil War. The map is color–coded to distinguish between countries, and shows Austrian alliance countries and city states of Saxony, Bavaria, Baden, Württemberg, Hanover, Hesse, Hesse–Cassel, Thuringian States, Schaumburg, Frankfurt, and Nassau, and the Prussian alliance countries of the Kingdom of Italy, Oldenburg, and Brunswick. The inset map details northeast Bohemia, site of the Battle of Königgrätz, where the Prussian army under Moltke had a decisive victory over the Austrian army under Benedek, leading to the armistice being signed in Prague three weeks later.
