Clauswitzian Wars (Failed Revolutions)

The Clauswitzian Wars is the name given to the series of campaigns that Prussian General Carl von Clausewitz lead in an attempt to achieve the ambitious goals of the King of Prussia Fredrick William III, who wished to unite the German States and create a powerful German Empire. This eventually resulted in the defeat of the Prussians and the Congress of Vienna in which Prussia lost the lands it had conquered since the First Franco-Prussian War in 1804 and reduced to a rump state known as the Kingdom of Brandenburg-Prussia.

As a result of the Clausewitz Wars, Carl von Clausewitz was exiled under French captivity in French Hispanolia , and Frederick William III was forced to abdicate the throne to be replaced by his son Fredrick William IV of Prussia. Eventually in 1836, Clausewitz would return to Europe and attempt to recreate his past exploits before being defeated in the Saxon War of Dependence by Bavarian Forces and this time being sent to a Austrian penal colony of the coast of West Africa where he would die in 1840.
