I want to know the answer to the following question:
What were reasons that the late 1757 time frame looked bad for Prussia?
All the background I'm provided with is that "First, Frederick devastated Prince Soubise's French force at the Battle of Rossbach on 5 November 1757 and then routed a vastly superior Austrian force at the Battle of Leuthen on 5 December 1757 With these victories, Frederick once again established himself as Europe's premier general and his men as Europe's most accomplished soldiers.". Is that enough to answer the question?
