Battle of Chotusitz - Aftermath

Aftermath

Each side suffered around 25% casualties and subsequently avoided any further major conflicts. The battle would lead directly to the treaty of Breslau. Frederick, learning that his French allies might be attempting to make a separate peace, would soon pull out of the war himself, having gained the territory of Silesia for Prussia.

Friedrich Leopold von Gessler who led 20 squadrons of cuirassiers in the charge of Buddenbrock's cavalry was promoted to lieutenant general and received the order of the Black Eagle for his achievement at Chotusitz. Prince Leopold was made a Field Marshal.
