The Prussian Military Reforms were a series of changes implemented in the early 19th century, particularly after the defeat in the Napoleonic Wars. These reforms aimed to modernize the Prussian Army by improving training, organization, and tactics. Key figures like Gerhard von Scharnhorst and August von Gneisenau played crucial roles in developing a more efficient military structure. One significant aspect of the reforms was the introduction of the Krümpersystem, which allowed for a larger reserve force by training fewer soldiers for longer periods. This system enabled Prussia to maintain a well-prepared army while reducing costs, ultimately contributing to its military successes in later conflicts.
