200 years later, France and Germany do far a better job of establishing European hegemony through the EU.
All those wars, all those dead, and at the end of the day, the Russian Empire is still a spent force, and France and Germany are still in a pissing match to be the dominant power.
The means may change; the goals do not.
France and the German-speaking countries going at it for quite some time. Impressing that Germany and France have an amicable relationship nowadays.
Austria France Russia and Prussia always causing aggro for each other.

If anyone is interested in the battles of the early 1800s, I suggest you to watch the “[Napoleonic Wars](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRUx61plsz4&list=PLUOc2qodFHp-mOphKW9RzQLsFTt-IV9RY)” from Epic History TV. It gives you a good overview on how those type battles were fought.
