Prussian Military Reform

Prussian Military Reform was a series of improvements initiated in the early 19th century to modernize and strengthen the Prussian armed forces. Following defeats by Napoleon, reforms focused on creating a more merit-based officer corps, modern training methods, universal conscription, and improved tactics. These changes aimed to make the military more efficient, adaptable, and better equipped to meet the demands of modern warfare, ultimately enabling Prussia to become a dominant military power in Europe.
