> The American Civil War and Boer Wars were exceptions, but discounted because they weren't European wars Russo-Japanese War as well. More recent than the US Civil War and gave some early examples as to what WWI would look like, but generally considered to be irrelevant since it wasn't a European War and was generally localized to the far, far east.
