Charles of Lorraine was defeated again just as at the Battle of Chotusitz, which showed that the Prussians could crush a numerically-equal enemy. The Second Silesian War, which was the last part of the War of the Austrian Succession in which Prussia took part, was almost at an end despite a close call at the Battle of Soor against the Austrians, who were again led by Charles of Lorraine, the peace at Dresden was signed on 25 December 1745, soon after yet another Prussian victory at the Battle of Kesselsdorf against the Saxons.
