After the Napoleonic Wars, a set of thinkers appeared, the most prominent of which were Clausewitz and Jomini, who allowed the strategy to be born as science. Napoleon astonished the world by his ability to, through swift offensive campaigns, prevail against his enemy in a decisive battle directed against the bulk of the opposing forces. After that period of continuous military strife, the conditions for the exercise of military activity changed radically. In the face of the weapons' destructive capacity, the offensive lost momentum and huge organizational efforts were required to set up armies that had grown. Helmut von Moltke understood the nature of this transformation and was able to win again through decisive battles that seemed to reaffirm Napoleonic principles. This prevented understanding of the depth of the transformation that the war phenomenon was experiencing and led to the stagnation and carnage of World War I
