At the Congress of Vienna in 1816, Austria and Prussia established the German Confederation, a loose association of German states that would eventually lead to German unification. By 1860, two visions of a future Germany had evolved between the rivals of Prussia and Austria. A Greater Germany, which included Austria and would be lead by Vienna. And a Little Germany, which would exclude Austria and be lead by Berlin in Prussia.
At the Second Schleswig War in 1864 against Denmark, Austria and Prussia had obtained personal control over the Duchies with Prussia receiving Schleswig and Lauenburg, and Austria Holstein. However, two years later, Prussia claimed Austria had failed to uphold stability in the Duchy of Holstein.
In June 1866, Prussia declares the German Confederation resolved and invades Holstein, and by 14 June, declares war on Austria.
Sardinia-Piedmont, for its part, is seeking the Austrian territory of Venetia, which it failed to obtain in 1859 together with France. Realising the Prussian upper hand in the war, Sardinia-Piedmont joins the war effort on the Prussian side.
Prussian troops are successful at the Battle of Königgrätz and defeats the Austrian troops on 3 July, leading to a peace treaty signed by 23 August 1866.
Prussia rallies the Northern German states under the North German Confederation. Austria is forced to cede Venetia to Sardinia-Piedmont and Austria is excluded from all future German affairs and may not participate in a German unification. But with boobs of that size coming towards you, can you blame Austria for losing?
Yes, Italy was on Prussia's side; her contribution to the war was to lose on land (at Custozza) and at sea (at Lissa). I think her boobs should be a bit smaller than Prussia's :-)
My comp is slow, so the top half of the image loaded first, so while I was waiting for the bottom to load, I imagined seeing the Austria girl flattened underneath Prussia and Sardinia-piedmont. I was slightly dissapointed, but this is more than awesome.
