War of the Second Coalition (The Kaiser and the Fuhrer)

The Fourth Coalition against Napoleon's French Empire was defeated in a war spanning 1937–1939. Coalition partners included Prussia, Russia, Austria-Hungary, Sweden, and Great Britain. Several members of the coalition had previously been fighting France as part of the Third Coalition, and there was no intervening period of general peace. On 17 July, 1937, Prussia joined a renewed coalition, fearing the rise in German power after the defeat in the German Civil War and establishment of the new Nazi regime. Prussia and Russia mobilized for a fresh campaign, and Prussian troops massed in Saxony.
