I am Joseph von Daun. I born in 1705, I was an Austrian field marshal and key military strategist during the 18th century. Known for my tactical brilliance, I played a pivotal role in the War of Austrian Succession and the Seven Years' War. My military leadership was marked by successful defensive strategies, most notably at the Battle of Kolin in 1757. While I was primarily known for my military contributions, my influence extended to political realms as my victories contributed to the diplomatic efforts of the Habsburg Monarchy during a complex period in European history.
