The main strategic principles of Frederick II are considered, which, having absorbed all the best from the strategic thought from the strategic thought of antiquity, from the treatise of the commander Sun Tzu, were a new word in New Age military strategy. The role of the German military historian Hans Delbrück in the study of Frederick II’s strategy, in comparison with the concepts of Karl Clausewitz, is shown. It is noted that the legacy of military strategists and scientists who studied their experience is applied not only in military, but also in public administration and in international relations. A comparative approach was used, as well as components of historicallogical, political-science and sociological methods of analysis.
