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.

The Congress of Vienna didn't create a united Germany because its main task was that of restore the old order, that one existing prior the French Revolution.

Furthermore it was no interest of the Great Powers (Austria, Prussia, Russia, Great Britain) to establish a united Germany, but that of maintain their influence over the myriad of German former free states and/or principalities.

In so doing they would prevent their general interests from being hurt by such

a new great power like a united Germany would have been.

Last but not least, the times were not ripe for such an initiative.

The Duke of Wellington's horse was named "Copenhagen".

There is a statue of the Duke of Wellington sitting atop Copenhagen located outside Apsley House in London (above the Arch at Constitution Hill).

The fact that the French Revolution Killed of their King in 1793.

ANSWER

French Army deployed 48,950 infantry, 15,765 cavalry and 7.232 artillery for a total of 71.947 troops.

Wellington Army deployed 49,608 infantry, 12,408 cavalry and 5,645 artillery for a total of 67,661 troops.

Bluecher's Prussian Army of about 89,000 troops joined in groups Wellington's between 3.00 and 7.00 PM.

The war represent a turning purpose in European affairs and a serious split up the past. ... These wars represent a continuation of the French Revolutionary Wars that stone-broke enter 1792 and ranged France against shifting alliances of alternative European powers.

The French Army was in disarray and disorder. Wellington was able to invade France. Marshal Grouchy had his orders from Napoleon to attack Wavre which he followed to the letter. The British had the ports blockaded and Napoleon had no force available to resist and no route of escape available. The time had arrived to throw in the towel.

To win a decisive war, military theorist Carl Von Clausewitz believed that this is best accomplished by destroying the enemy's army. He did make mention that the capture of the enemy's capital city was important, however, that city had to be a significant military target and lose many of its defenders in the combat.

In the American Civil War, it was frequently brother against brother and father against son. Many families, especially in the south, were quite divided. Florida took a popular vote. Only one thousand more people voted to side with the Confederacy than voted to remain in the Union.

The last four states to leave the Union and join the Confederacy produced a large number of Union Solders. General Thomas, the only General to defeat Stonewall Jackson, was from Virginia, a state that left the Union. He sided against a majority of his own people. Thomas also won the Battle of Atlanta where a lesser general may have been defeated when Hood threw everything he had at his army.

At the end of the war, the victors punished the losers and gave the former slaves power to assist in punishing the losers. The hard feelings remained. Then when the losers regained power they punished the former slaves who had joined with the winners. Bad feelings remained for years after the war. Now the pendulum has swung the other way with affirmative action. Bad feelings remain for 150 years.

On the other hand, there are no bad feelings following the war with Germany, Japan, and Vietnam, except for those who fought in them and those who lost loved ones. There is bad feelings about North Korea but that results because a mad man is the current ruler. There is no on going legislation or social action in the United States because of those wars.

the boer war started in 1980

with cannon fire!

A just war is when a war starts for a justified reason not for revenge or to improve an empire or even for oil it has to be justified e.g. hostiges are being taken from 1 country that country can try to get the hostiges back if the other side (side holding the hostiges) retaliates it starts a just war becasue it started when hostiges were taken therefore is for a good cause hope this helped :)

As far as a country's official forces were concerned, France, Britain, Prussia (most of present day northern Germany) and The Netherlands (including what is now Belgium).

Of course there were members of other countries fighting as part of another army, such as 19,000 from the German states of Hanover, Brunswick and Nassau in Wellington's army as well as 6,000 in the German Legion, (part of the British Army).

Individuals from other parts of the world also took part but not representing their country.

As the Dutch Army had only just been re-established in 1815 it was interesting that they and some of their German allies had once been members of Napoleons army.

If you mean the American Civil War, yes, four of them, from 1861 to 1865. Other civil wars have been longer, but few have been bloodier.

The last official war between France and Great britain was that of the Seventh Coalition, that included the Waterloo Campaign and the Neapolitan War.

But the last military actions of a not declared war between Great Britain and the so called France of Vichy took place between the summer 1940 and November 1942, after the Armistice between Germany and the unoccupied France, the most notables of which was the Battle of Mers-El-Kebir fought on July 3, 1940 and the British attacks on Dakar carried on July 8 and September 23-24-25,1940.

Satan? - I think we can do better than that:

America's leading gunpowder manufacturer as well as weapons makers and war suppliers. After that obvious beginning the Industrial North would be next as the war not only destroyed the price structure of commodities insuring low prices on raw materials and food, but also wrested control of the U.S. government from the Agrarian Tradition beginning with the Founding Fathers.

The British won the battle of Trafalgar thanks to the innovative tactic of fighting,

which allowed the British men of war to break through the long battle line of the allied French and Spanish fleets, splitting them into two part and defeating them

piecemeal. A pivotal role was also played by the employment of the "carronades", a type of gun particularly destructive at short distances of which only the British ships were equipped with.

Napoleon's troops were not equipped for winter traveling and the soldiers faced frostbite and starvation

The British

One of the first actions for the participants during a war is to embargo all trade to your opponent. Trade from America to Europe had to go by sea and Britain, (the main enemy of Napoleon), had the largest navy, by a long way.

Napoleon was using other European countries to place a trade embargo on Britain, so it was only right for Britain to do the same, which hurt trade to and from America. This was especially so between 1812 and 1815 when America declared war on Britain and her dependencies.
