The technologies of steam, metallurgy, and mass production drove the birth of this stage of war. [industrialization of warfare] It was warfare based on fire and movement at the tactical level. Fire- particularly that of artillery-became dominant on the battlefield. While linear formations still constrained tactics, the development and institutionalization of the concept of operational art gave depth to the battlefield. This concept accommodated the deep penetrations, combinations, and cauldron battles of the Austro-Prussian and Franco-Prussian wars, and the two great European wars of the 20th century. But despite the attraction of movement and the concept of penetration, attrition-based on fire-remained the principal characteristic of the battlefield.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
