An alliance against this man called the (*) "Diplomatic Revolution" left him with no allies except Britain, but this did not prevent him from winning the Battles of Pirna and Rossbach. This man's mastery of the oblique order of attack allowed him to outflank and defeat much larger armies, such as at the Battles of Leuthen and Mollowitz, both victories against his arch-rival Austria, from whom he seized Silesia. For ten points, name this brilliant commander who ruled Prussia during the Seven Years War and War of the Austrian Succession.
