The Problem with Trains
Every nation was afraid of getting beaten to mobilization.
In most of Europe, it only took about a week for your army to get ready and arrive at a border at partial strength.
This meant that if you delayed even a couple days to mobilize, your enemy might be crossing your border while your troops were still getting their boots on.Slide10
The Specter of the Franco-Prussian War
The problem is that you always prepare for the last war you fought.
In 1870, Prussia destroyed the French army with mobility.
Superior use of trains meant the Prussian army moved 2x as fast and outflanked France in every battle.Slide11
The Specter of the Franco-Prussian War
The lessons of the war taught Europe a few things:
Trains and speed were the key.
Only by aggressively attacking could you win.
The war would be short.
The first to mobilize would have a huge advantage.Slide12
