The Battle of Burkersdorf was a battle fought on 21 July 1762 during the Third Silesian War . A Prussian army of 40,000 men fought an Austrian army of around 30,000 men.
After the death of Elizabeth of Russia, czarina of Russia, her nephew Peter III came to the throne. Peter was a great admirer of Frederick the Great and all things Prussian, and Frederick used this to his advantage. Peter promptly withdrew his army from the war, abandoned Russian-occupied East Prussia, and signed a treaty of peace with Frederick. Peter then sent a force to aid the Prussian army in the campaign against the Austrians.
