Saxony is a protectorate of Poland-Lithuania, holding its home region between Austria and Prussia.
Overview
Saxony has a long history as a duchy, an electorate of the Holy Roman Empire (the Electorate of Saxony), and eventually as a kingdom (the Kingdom of Saxony). In 18th century it became known for its cultural achievements, although it was politically inferior to Prussia and Austria, which pressed Saxony from either side. In 1756, Saxony joined the coalition of Austria, France and Russia against Prussia. Frederick II of Prussia chose to attack preemptively and invaded Saxony in August 1756, precipitating the Seven Years War. The Prussians quickly defeated Saxony and incorporated the Saxon army into the Prussian army. At the end of the Seven Years War, Saxony once again became an independent state.
