Imperial cavalry

Imperial cavalry refers to mounted troops that were part of the military forces of various empires, notably during the 18th to early 20th centuries. These cavalry units were used for fast movement, reconnaissance, and shock tactics in battle. They typically wore distinctive uniforms that represented their empire and were trained for both combat and reconnaissance missions. The cavalry played a crucial role in expanding territories, maintaining control, and engaging in warfare. Over time, advancements in technology, like the rise of the machine gun and tanks, led to the decline of traditional cavalry in warfare.
