Title	Gribeauval in Austrian Service (1758-62)
Subcollection	The War of 1812/Mexican-American War
Description	On 1 May 1756, France and Austria sign the First Treaty of Versailles that causes the relations between France and Prussia to deteriorate. On 17 May 1756, Britain declared war on France so precipitating the start of the Seven Years War that involved Austria, Bavaria, France, Russia, Saxony and Sweden against Britain and Prussia. Soon after the outbreak of the Seven Years War, Empress Maria Theresa realized that the Austrian Corps of Engineers lacked expertise especially in conducting sieges so asked the King of France for the services of good engineer officers.
