A historical simulation of the Central Powers

Por: André Geraque Kiffer

World War I broke out on July 28, 1914 with the declaration of war of the Austro-Hungarian Empire against Serbia and concluded on November 11, 1918 with the signing of an armistice by Germany, eventually resulting in more than 10 million killed in combat. One aspect of the nature of the war that lacked greater awareness from all contenders was that it tended to be a high-tech war. This is explained by the evolution of War Science throughout the nineteenth century, the result of various inventions or reinventions of weapon systems and / or support systems, and the increase in mass production capacity in the Industrial Revolution. However, it has historically been witnessed that the Art of War did not evolve sufficiently in the same period, as a result the major American and European wars employed virtually the same Napoleonic operational strategies and tactics.
