The recognition of total war since World War I has created a degree of confusion for many, who fail to understand the differences between it and the concept of absolute war, often using the terms interchangeably and blaming Germany's conduct of "total war" on the writings of Prussian military theorist Carl von Clausewitz.
•
The concept of absolute war was a philosophical construct developed by the military theorist General Carl von Clausewitz.
From an empirical examination of past battles the Prussian military theorist Carl von Clausewitz was able to conclude:-
This initiative system is designed to simulate the "friction" of war noted by Carl von Clausewitz, plus units use a dice system for movement, observation, and fire that means you never know exactly how they will perform.
Excellence in this case is derived in part from the tradition of Gerhard von Scharnhorst, Carl von Clausewitz and Helmuth von Moltke and was based upon the premise that hard-and-fast rules had no place in the environment of war, which was the realm of human emotion, friction, chance and uncertainty.
•
Carl von Clausewitz stated that "Everything in war is very simple but the simplest thing is difficult".
Another central reference to Clausewitz in Mozg Armii is to the famous clausewitzian idea that "war is a continuation of politics by other means".
•
For him, this view was supported by Carl von Clausewitz's (see above quote) and Conrad's own writings.
Carl von Clausewitz's advice (never to launch a war that one has not already won) characterizes war as a no-win situation.
His dissertation, which was financially supported by the Clausewitz Society, explored the influence of Carl von Clausewitz as a military theorist in Russia and the Soviet Union.
Formerly, there was a fortress located at the town, whose location was mentioned by Carl von Clausewitz.
Carl von Clausewitz, in his book Vom Kriege (On War) published in 1832, and Antoine Henri Jomini in his book, Precis de l'Art de Guerre, published in 1838, developed theories of warfare based on the concepts and methods used during the Napoleonic Wars.
