“SMALL WARS” IN PRUSSIAN MILITARY THOUGHT OF 1815-1848
Journal Title: Scientific Journal of the Military University of Land Forces - Year 2014, Vol 173, Issue 3
Abstract
Contemporary discussions on the nature of war very often refer to Carl von Clausewitz's achievements. Military writers are trying to confirm or deny his utility for the different concepts of new wars. Unfortunately, researchers usually overlook the context of the era in which the Prussian philosopher of war lived, as well as the fact that the problems of irregular actions and the small wars were major discussion topics in the environment in which he created. Just as the theorists at the beginning of XXI century, at the end of the Napoleonic wars the Prussian military writers faced the problem of socially conditioned dynamic changes in the art of war. One of the important elements of this reflection was the concept of small wars, although known at the time of the ancient regime, but they take on new significance in the post-revolutionary Europe. The aim of the article is the presentation of the most important signs of this reflection, which is intended to assist in every attempt of evaluating Clausewitz's concept, as well as their usefulness in contemporary reflections on war.
