Maria Theresa
Fire this event with the event command and the event ID women_history_events.4.
What happens
Her mere existence is enough to upset the balance of power in Europe, for she claims the throne of Austria at a time when that crown's union with the Holy Roman Empire and uncertainties about Austrian law means that there are a case to be made that she should not rule at all. Her strengths are many, and there are those that place trust in her and believes that she will fend off any attack from the powerful and warlike Prussian state. Maria Theresa has stated that she wish to oppress religious minorities in the empire, since any division could tear the land apart, but she will otherwise push for progressive reforms in Austria. Taxes will be imposed on the nobility, Austrian education improved and the army reformed so it can compete with our stronger neighbors. She also wish to ban witch burnings.
