The so-called Seven Weeks' War of 1866 between Prussia and Italy
and Austria was notable not only for its effect on future German
history but also because it was the last time the armies of the
smaller German states fought as independent contingents. Forces
from 30 smaller states were involved, and they were either of some
strength or barely able to guard their rulers' palaces. They have
largely been ignored in standard histories, and this book attempts
to begin to redress that imbalance by presenting for the first time
in English detailed information about the organisation of the
armies of the smaller states. States covered include: Anhalt,
Baden, Bavaria, Bremen, Brunswick, Frankfurt am Main, Hamburg,
Hanover, Electoral Hesse, Grand Ducal Hesse, Landgravial Hesse,
Liechtenstein, Limburg, Lippe-Detmold, Lubeck, Luxembourg, The
Mecklenburgs, Nassau, Oldenburg, The Reusses, Saxe-Altenburg,
Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, Saxe-Meiningen, Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, Saxony,
Schaumburg-Lippe, Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt,
Schwarzburg-Sondershausen, Waldeck, Wurttemberg. An introduction
places this information in context, and appendices give selected
orders of battle and a chronology of the preliminaries and main
events of the war in Germany.
