These wars had many characteristics that made it unique for that time and period. It involved a very charismatic leader in Napoleon who was dominating the world's political and military scene. The size of armies were at a peak. The style and colors of the military uniforms made it a romantic period to study. The military strategy had advanced such that large armies could move quickly and at long distances. Military tactics had evolved with the use of combined arms: meaning a good general used infantry, artillery and cavalry in combination to over-power his enemy. "Flying aritllery" first appeared that allowed artillery to be used at close range on the battlefield. Individually, each of these were not that important but these characteristics all came together at the same time to make this period a unique time in history.
