The American Civil War, known in Europe as the ‘War of Secession’, was marked by the ferocity and frequency of battles. Over four years, 237 named battles were fought, as were many more minor actions and skirmishes, which were often characterised by their bitter intensity and high casualties. As per the customs of the time, Prussian, French and British military observers were sent to the North American continent to observe the tactics of both armies, taking notes and reporting back to their homelands with observations and ideas about new tactics.
