". . . 3 fronts . . ."At the end of the Seven Years War, one of Frederic's advisors was discussing the proposed peace terms with Sweden, at which the king quipped, "We were at war with Sweden ?"

Sweden was huge in the time of Fredrick's father( who though perhaps more principled kidnapped all the really tall people in Europe and shanghaied them into his regiment of tall soldiers LOL) but was left with the small sliver of territory after falling to a coalition of Denmark, Prussia, and Russia.

There were 3 fronts right? They were facing Russia to the East, Austria to the South, and France to the West right?
