<P> The Treaty of Hubertusburg, between Austria, Prussia, and Saxony, was signed on 15 February 1763, at a hunting lodge between Dresden and Leipzig . Negotiations had started there on 31 December 1762 . Frederick, who had considered ceding East Prussia to Russia if Peter III helped him secure Saxony, finally insisted on excluding Russia (in fact, no longer a belligerent) from the negotiations . At the same time, he refused to evacuate Saxony until its elector had renounced any claim to reparation . The Austrians wanted at least to retain Glatz, which they had in fact reconquered, but Frederick would not allow it . The treaty simply restored the status quo of 1748, with Silesia and Glatz reverting to Frederick and Saxony to its own elector . The only concession that Prussia made to Austria was to consent to the election of Archduke Joseph as Holy Roman emperor . Saxony emerged from the war weakened and bankrupt; despite losing no territory, Saxony had essentially been a battleground between Prussia and Austria, with many of its' towns and cities (including the capital of Dresden) damaged by bombardment and looting . </P> <P> Austria was not able to retake Silesia or make any significant territorial gain . However, it did prevent Prussia from invading parts of Saxony . More significantly, its military performance proved far better than during the War of the Austrian Succession and seemed to vindicate Maria Theresa's administrative and military reforms . Hence, Austria's prestige was restored in great part and the empire secured its position as a major player in the European system . Also, by promising to vote for Joseph II in the Imperial elections, Frederick II accepted the Habsburg preeminence in the Holy Roman Empire . The survival of Prussia as a first - rate power and the enhanced prestige of its king and its army, however, was potentially damaging in the long run to Austria's influence in Germany . </P> <P> Not only that, Austria now found herself estranged with the new developments within the empire itself . Beside the rise of Prussia, Augustus III, although ineffective, could muster an army not only from Saxony, but also Poland, since he was also the King of Poland as well as Elector of Saxony . Bavaria's growing power and independence was also apparent as it asserted more control on the deployment of its army, and managed to disengage from the war at its own will . Most importantly, with the now belligerent Hanover united personally under George III of Great Britain, It amassed a considerable power, and even brought Britain in, on future conflicts . This power dynamic was important to the future and the latter conflicts of the Reich . The war also proved that Maria Theresa's reforms were still insufficient to compete with Prussia: unlike its enemy, the Austrians were almost bankrupt at the end of war . Hence, she dedicated the next two decades to the consolidation of her administration . </P> <P> Prussia emerged from the war as a great power whose importance could no longer be challenged . Frederick the Great's personal reputation was enormously enhanced, as his debt to fortune (Russia's volte - face after Elizabeth's death) and to British financial support were soon forgotten, while the memory of his energy and his military genius was strenuously kept alive . Though depicted as a key moment in Prussia's rise to greatness, the war weakened Prussia . Prussia's lands and population were devastated, though Frederick's extensive agrarian reforms and encouragement of immigration soon solved both these problems . Unfortunately for Prussia, its army had taken heavy losses (particularly the officer corps), and in the war's aftermath, Frederick could not afford to rebuild the Prussian Army to what it was before the war . In the War of the Bavarian Succession, the Prussians fought poorly despite being led by Frederick in person . During the war with France in 1792--1795, the Prussian Army did not fare well against revolutionary France, and in 1806, the Prussians were annihilated by the French at the Battle of Jena . It was only after 1806 when Prussian government brought in reforms to recover from the disaster of Jena that Prussia's rise to greatness later in the 19th century was realized . However, none of this had happened yet, and after 1763, various nations all sent officers to Prussia to learn the secrets of Prussia's military power . After the Seven Years' War, Prussia become one of the most imitated powers in Europe . </P>
