The 1740s (pronounced "seventeen-forties") decade ran from January 1, 1740, to December 31, 1749. Many events during this decade sparked an impetus for the Age of Reason . Military and technological advances brought one of the first instances of a truly global war to take place here, when Maria Theresa of Austria’s struggle to succeed the various crowns of her father King Charles VI led to a war involving nearly all European states in the War of the Austrian Succession , eventually spilling over to North America with the War of Jenkins’ Ear (which went on to involve many of the West’s first ferocious maritime battles). Capitalism grew robust following the fallout of the South Sea bubble two decades and the subsequent reign of Sir Robert Walpole , whose rule ended in the earlier half of this decade.
From top left, clockwise: The War of Jenkins' Ear , a conflict between the British and Spanish Empires lasting from 1739 to 1748. The War of the Austrian Succession from 1740 to 1748, caused by the death of Emperor Charles VI in 1740. The siege of Trichinopoly , a conflict between the Nizam of Hyderabad and the Maratha Empire over the Carnatic region . George Anson burns Paita , a settlement in Peru in 1742 whilst on a voyage around the world . Nader Shah declares war on the Ottoman Empire in 1743 resulting in the Ottoman–Persian War . Following the end of the First Silesian War in 1742, the Second Silesian War occurs as a continuation of the first war. A Leyden jar is discovered independently by Ewald Georg von Kleist and Pieter van Musschenbroek . The Jacobite rising of 1745 , an attempt by Charles Edward Stuart to regain the British throne for his father .
