Why imperial victories failed to resolve the war

Poor cooperation, supply problems and numerical weakness limited what imperial battlefield successes could achieve.

Notes

Conservative leaders supported the French and the creation of the empire, but their cooperation remained uneven. Their armies could win battles when they worked together. Recurring problems with logistics, supply and artillery limited those successes. Numerical weakness relative to the liberals became more serious as French forces began withdrawing.
