WILL GIVE BRAINIEST!!!!! Why did Charles VI issue a rule that women could inherit Hapsburg lands?

History

Charles and his wife Elizabeth Christine had not had children, since 1711, Charles had been the sole surviving male member of the House of Habsburg. Charles's older brother, Joseph I, had died without male issue, leaving Joseph's daughter Maria Josepha as the heir presumptive. That presented two problems. First, a prior agreement with his brother, known as the Mutual Pact of Succession, had agreed that in the absence of male heirs, Joseph's daughters would take precedence over Charles's daughters in all Habsburg lands. Though Charles had no children, if he were to be survived by daughters alone, they would be cut out of the inheritance. Secondly, because Salic law precluded female inheritance, Charles VI needed to take extraordinary measures to avoid a protracted succession dispute, as other claimants would have surely contested a female inheritance. Charles VI was definitely succeeded by his own elder daughter, Maria Theresa (born 1717). However, despite the promulgation of the Pragmatic Sanction, her accession in 1740 resulted in the outbreak of the War of the Austrian Succession as Charles-Albert of Bavaria, backed by France, contested her inheritance. After the war, Maria Theresa's inheritance of the Habsburg lands was confirmed by the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle, and the election of her husband, Francis I, as Holy Roman Emperor was secured by the Treaty of Füssen.

How was the absolute rule of Peter the Great, Frederick II, and Catherine the Great different from the absolutism of earlier Eur
aev [14]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The absolute rule of Peter the Great, Frederick II and Catherine the Great was different from the absolutism of earlier European monarchs in that they had a little bit more interested in the welfare of their people, and were not as self-centered as the many European monarchs of the time. They were more open to listening to ideas that could benefit them but also their servants.

They were similar to the other Kings and Queens of Europe in that they exerted their power and control over their territories. They were absolute Kings or Queens and imposed absolutist measures to consolidate their reigns.

Part B Look again at the last sentence of the excerpt. In your own words, explain briefly what you think this sentence means.
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

"A hospital alone shows what war is."

This sentence lets the reader be witness of the war cruelty and its consequences regarding human casualties. While being at hospitals you become aware of the war atrocities. It helps us to reflect that any war leads societies to suffering from death and destruction. No matter what the victims' race, sex, origin or religion are, what should be really important is that human beings are being devastated for those acts of cruelty, despotism and barbarism.
