add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the events related to seven day's war. On the 15th of June 1866, the majority of the German Bund at Frankfort votes the mobilization of the federal armies. On the 18th Prussia secedes from the confederation, and her armies, already tinder marching orders, invade Hanover and Saxony. No resistance is offered to them: the Hanoverian army retreats with the King in the greatest haste. The Saxon army takes refuge in Bohemia. On the 24th June the King of Italy crosses the Mincio with 100,000 men; he attacks the positions which are between Peschiera and Verona, with the hope of isolating Peschiera.
