Maria Theresa (German: Maria Theresa, *May 13, 1717 +November 29, 1780) was Archduchess of Austria, Queen of Hungary and Bohemia and Holy Roman Empress. Maria Theresa was the oldest daughter of Emperor Charles VI, who promulgated The Pragmatic Sanction to allow her to succeed to the Hapsburg Monarchy (at the time women could not inherit the throne)
Opposition to her acceding to the throne led to the War of the Austrian Succession. After her uncle Emperor Charles VII, who claimed the throne, die, Maria Theresa obtained the Imperial Crown as Holy Roman Empress in 1740.
Maria Theresa helped initiate financial and educational reforms, promoted commerce and the development of agriculture and reorganized the army, all of which strengthened Austria's resources.
Continued conflict with the Kingdom of Prussia led to the Seven Year's War and later to the War of the Bavarian Succession.
A key figure in the power politics of 18th century Europe, Maria Theresa brought unity to the Hapsburg Monarchy and is considered one of the most influential woman of all time.
