Answer:

The 1740 to 1748 War of the Austrian Succession was the last Great Power conflict with the Bourbon-Habsburg dynastic conflict at its heart, and marked the rise of Prussia as a major power. Related conflicts include King George's War, the War of Jenkins' Ear, the First Carnatic War, as well as the First and Second Silesian Wars.

While the pretext was Maria Theresa's right to inherit from her father ,Emperor Charles VI, in reality France, Prussia and Bavaria saw an opportunity to challenge Habsburg power. Maria Theresa was backed by Britain, the Dutch Republic, and Hanover, collectively known as the Pragmatic Allies. As the conflict widened, it drew in other participants, among them Spain, Sardinia, Saxony, Sweden and Russia.

Answer:

The War of the Austrian Succession.

-

The War of the Austrian Succession, which took place from 1740 to 1748, is a perfect example of this. Although the original conflict was over who would take the Austrian throne, the fight that ensued involved most of the European powers of the mid-18th century who all fought for their own, personal interests.

Background :

The whole reason the Austrian throne was contested in the first place was the interests of Austria's neighbors.The previous Hapsburg King of Austria and Holy Roman Emperor, Charles VI, had sought to secure the line of succession for his daughter, Maria Theresa, in case he had no surviving male heirs. Many of the major European states agreed to recognize Maria Theresa as Queen of Austria and sovereign of all Hapsburg territories, but reneged on their deal as soon as Maria Theresa succeeded to the throne in 1740.France, Spain, and several German states denied the ability of accession through the female line, and instead claimed Charles Albert, Elector of Bavaria, to have the strongest claims to the Austrian throne. They declined the offer.
