Leonidas knew about the goat path that would allow bad guys
to get behind him but didnt send reliable sentries to watch it.
DOH !


He would be defeated anyway,but a little bit later maybe .


The Confederates were disorganised and inept, hell
they couldnt agree on ANYTHING, so every army
they fielded was a quartermasters nightmare with a
dozen different types of personal weapon and no
commonality in uniforms. This latter led to Confederates


Excellent description plus they faced a 4,5 times bigger opponent.


In terms of the field army perhaps double

So why mighty union needed four years to defeat a such incompetent ragtop
opponents and lost more soldiers than incompetent and poor Confederates ?.


Because attacking an entrenched enemy with late 19th century
weapons was as difficult as it was to prove in WW1


BTW,Among confederate foot soldiers there were many sons of southern

dynasties
and they together with the sons of less priveledged families fought wars

even
without shoes till the bitter end.
Confederates were truly Aristocrats and Knights of North America.


Not to mention slavemasters

The Germans in WW2 were so convined of their natural
superiority over the untermencshen that were their enemies
that they didnt merely content themselves with fighting on 2
fronts like their Fathers in WW1 but opened hostilities
in the Mediterranean and Balkans


But every time to contain and defeat Germans you needed to create a

"Global
Alliance" of countless nations and countries.


Note that in neither WW1 nor WW2 did Germany fight on its
own. In WW1 it allied with the Austro-Hungarian Empire
and Turkey. In WW2 its allies included Italy, Rumania, Hungary
and Bulgaria

As far as I know GB did not need a global alliance to subdue Boers which

tells
something about the caliber of Germans.


The Boers were rather fewer in number than Germans
