[[Frederick the Great]], a military genius, ruled Prussia and sought expansion.  Able to keep the allies at bay with the superiority of his army, over time the numerical advantage of his enemies weighed down upon his forces.  When it seemed he would suffer defeat, [[Catherine the Great]] deposed her weak husband and removed Russia from the war.  Frederick was able to save face and avoid defeat.
