IOTL, Frederick the Great's first battle was almost a disaster, and he ended up fleeing the battlefield before his field marshal managed to bring about a victory.
Suppose the Prussians were somewhat more unlucky, and Frederick is killed attempting the flee, while his army ends up crumbling in defeat. Presumably Prussia seeks peace afterwards, and Austria retains Silesia.
Do the French and Bavarians start the War of Austrian Succession on their own in this case?
