Wars lasting a long time, especially before modern warfare technology.
In: 0
Before modern technology (roughly 1850s level), wars COULDN’T last a long time. Although there were very long wars such as the hundred years war, they were really more of a series of short wars that get lumped together in history textbook. Countries didn’t have the resources to feed and supply an army over a long war, or to replace lost soldiers and equipment. Wars often were often decided by one single large battle.
The only other way that long wars could occur was if one army kept winning, thereby allowing them to continue gathering more soldiers and supplies from the territories they invaded.
