- 97,000 handguns 1809 compared to 26,000
- despite the french having a better industrial output that Russia as seen in 1812, Russia generalship and tactics proved to out way there industrial advantage
- 97,000 handguns 1809 compared to 26,000

- Bigger wars over a larger area
- Tactics
- initially made warfare static as with the creation of the breech loading rifle

- Organisation
- Railways -> greater organisation of troops
- Schlifflen plan 1914 quick deployment of troops to the Belgium border if this would have been slower if Germany had not been so industrialised
- Use of railways of at balaclava to deliver supplies during the Crimean war
- In later wars such as ww1 and ww2 the planning proved instrumental in the key to success if the allies had not had had such good organisation the benefit of the us's industry would not have had so much of an impact therefore one could also say that generalship had a greater impact than industrialisation
- Railways -> greater organisation of troops
- Strategy
- led to troops being brought in by railways
- the more industrialisation the greater the impact on the strategy
- Battle of 1st bull run
- blitzkrieg - industry allowed to implement
- led to troops being brought in by railways
- Generalship
- Did sometimes out weigh better industr+ialised countries, as if the organisation was bad
- Economy
- Bigger impact than industrialisation as it had a larger effect poor economy lack of industrialisation = defeat as
- Despite Russian having a large force of 1 million they did not have the railway to transport them in the Crimean war this shows that the impact of economics had a bigger impact than industrialisation as a whole
