Frederick the Great suffered his heaviest defeat during the Seven-Years-War at Kunersdorf. Nevertheless, it only harmed his military reputation in the short term, but in the long term it strengthened his reputation as a warlord who survived even severe setbacks through tenacity and willpower. Which causes led to this? Why did Prussian troops suffer repeated defeats against the Russians? Were they individual mistakes by the king or structural disadvantages of Prussian warfare?
