Has any war in history gone according to plan? Monarchs, dictators and elected leaders alike have a dismal record on military decision-making, from over-ambitious goals to disregarding intelligence, terrain, or enemy capabilities.

For just over half of this decade the war continued, meaning food and clothing shortages became a way of life.
