Napoleonic Wars

The "War of the Currents" was primarily a rivalry between Thomas Edison, who promoted direct current (DC), and Nikola Tesla and George Westinghouse, who advocated for alternating current (AC). Ultimately, AC emerged as the victor due to its ability to transmit electricity over long distances more efficiently and cost-effectively. This led to the widespread adoption of AC systems for power distribution, shaping the modern electrical grid.

Prior to the war, the workforce was predominantly made up of men in traditional roles, with many women and minorities facing significant barriers to employment. During the war, as men were drafted into military service, women and minorities stepped into roles that had previously been inaccessible to them, taking on jobs in factories, shipyards, and other essential industries. This shift not only filled labor shortages but also began to challenge societal norms regarding gender and race in the workplace. The war ultimately led to a more diverse workforce and laid the groundwork for future movements advocating for equal rights and opportunities.

Both military theorists, Clausewitz and Johmini wrote about the Napoleonic era wars, their publications contained significant differences. Clausewitz is almost in a metaphysical mode in his publication of ON War. He assumes the reader is already familiar with Henri Johmini. Johmini expressed his view on the geometrical rules for warfare. With that said, perhaps the most significant differences between them were their views on the relative power of offensive and defense. Clausewitz clearly emphasizes the power of tactical defense, while Johmini leans toward tactical offensives.

After the Napoleonic Wars the French King Louis XVIII was restored to the throne and France returned to the borders of the year 1789, while Napoleon was confined in the island of St.Helena

The importance of an army's reserves have always been a part of military planning when it comes to the battlefield. Many military historians and leaders have emphasized their importance, but in different ways. Clearly Carl Von Clausewitz speaks about reserves, and their numbers when a commander is calculating his situation in a battle. He advises field commanders to take note of his own reserves and where possible, a determination of the reserves of an enemy. Depending upon various circumstances, the size of an attacker's reserves may determine whether to retreat or to advance.One of Napoleon's opponents, the Archduke Charles, specifically advises that a commander requires a strong number of reserves to cover a losing army's retreat. Confederate General Robert E. Lee, as one US Civil War example, was successful in using his reserves to thwart an enemies pursuit when Lee was forced to retreat.

The three Seminole Wars or Florida Wars were fought between the US and the Seminole Indians and escaped slaves in Spains Florida Territory between 1817 and 1858.

According to Napoleon in his memoirs, things went downhill after invading Spain. It had simply tied troops down fighting guerrillas and defending all of that ground against sneak attacks.

The pricipal commander was the Archduke Charles. Archduke John was not so good. Schwartzenberg was a good cavalry commander & served reluctantly for Napoleon in Russia for a time.

The war ended with the signing of the Treaty of Vereenging The Treaty of Vereeniging (commonly referred to as Peace of Vereeniging)[1] was the peace treaty, signed on 31 May 1902, that ended the South African War (Second Anglo-Boer War) between the South African Republic and the Republic of the Orange Free State on one side and Great Britain on the other. This settlement entailed the end of hostilities and the surrender of all Boer forces and their arms to the British, with the promise of eventual self-government to the Transvaal (South African Republic) and the Orange Free State as colonies of the British Empire. The Boer republics agreed to come under the sovereignty of the British Crown and the British government agreed on various details including the following: # To eventually give the Transvaal and the Orange Free State self-government (granted in 1906 and 1907, respectively). # To avoid discussing the native (Black) enfranchisement issue until self-government had been given (not completely achieved until 1994). # To pay the Afrikaners £3,000,000 in reconstruction aid. # To imprison only Cape Afrikaner rebel leaders for their role in the war. # To allow the use of Dutch (later Afrikaans) in the schools and law courts. Subsequent to the British government giving the Boer colonies self-government, the Union of South Africa was created on 31 May 1910. The Union gained complete independence under the 1926 Imperial Conference and the 1931 Statute of Westminster. The country became a republic in 1961. Although the treaty is named after the town of Vereeniging in Transvaal, where the peace negotiations took place, the document was actually signed at Melrose House in Pretoria. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Vereeniging

It ended the Napoleonic Wars and reinstated the Bourbon Monarchy under Louis XVIII.

False.

He was a former Military Cadet who was not a good student who enlisted in the Army, served in Martinique and rose to the rank of Sergeant by 1789. Desiring a transfer because the Island did not appeal to him, he was refused, he deserted and sailed to France where he enlisted in another Regiment and started his career all over. By 1791 he had a Commission and was leading troops in combat. He earned the rank of Lieutenant Colonel by 1793 and before the year ended he was a General of

Brigade at the age of 22.

He had his failings, was not a strategic thinker, did a little looting and was just a wee bit insubordinate with Officers from the petty nobility. Napoleon loved him and needed him. He was violent, heroic and a demon on the Battlefield.

He had become friends with Napoleon.

The Colt Revolver of the Civil War was quite accurate, but only for its time. It could hit a target at about 50 feet but beyond that, the accuracy fell of quickly.

The combined forces of the Seventh Coalition. The major forces were the UK under the Duke of Wellington and the Prussians under Field Marshal von Blucher. The individual UK soldiers deserves naming since they refused to yield to Napoleon's forces and they held the battlefield until the Prussians arrived to attack the French flank.

The Civil War was an UN-Declared War; but fought between TWO governments and TWO separate Armies and Navies.
