A historical simulation

Por: André Geraque Kiffer

In this book we are going to expand the scope of the Seven Years' War (1756-1763), known to many historians, among whom I include myself, as the First World War, to associate it, particularly in the chapter dedicated to Analysis and Simulation, with other two wars, these secular and latent. One fought for control of the Oceans, the Anglo Dutch (1652-1784); and another for the control of Central Europe and the Mediterranean Sea, the Ottoman Habsburgs (1526-1791). The military strategy, between 1648 and 1789, witnessed the so-called “Kabinettskriege” (from the German “Cabinet War” with “metal soldiers”), in which regular disciplined armies were equipped and supplied by the States to conduct the maneuvers in the name of interests combined between Coalitions. The operational strategy prioritized the control of the main stronghold cities, those positioned in order to command the surrounding regions and roads. There were more prolonged sieges than decisive pitched battles.
