	Eric Margolis \| Foreign Correspondent : THE MOST BRILLLIANT BATTLE IN MODERN HISTORY
		Sedan was the scene of France’s crushing defeat in the 1870 Franco-Prussian War.
		The unsung heroes of Sedan, German infantry, marched 40 kms daily to protect the sides of the expanding but fragile `Panzer Corridor’ that was sundering the northern and southern Allied armies like a dagger driven through soft butter.
		In general I think that from the Napoleonic Wars to Iraq, ‘brilliant’ military strikes such as the 1940 Battle of Sedan have always been carried out by the side which was the eventual loser or which ended up having to compromise away most of what it thought it had gained.

	The Nationalism Project: Review of The Nation as a Local Metaphor
		The first is the local commemoration of Sedan Day, a nation-wide but "unofficial" holiday celebrating victory at the Battle of Sedan in 1870 during the Franco-Prussian War.
		Sedan Day soon became a focus for local political struggle; Württemberg had been opposed to Prussian-led German Unification, and the holiday became a debate between local Prussophile, Protestant Liberal bourgeoisie and Catholics and upholders of local political rights.
		Although not a fl and white conflict (the Liberals incorporate their own, local meanings into Sedan Day) the holiday failed to reconcile the local and the national in the eyes of many Württembergers; and ultimately, the holiday faltered and diminished.

		In the French General Staff and in the Officer Corps, he was revered for his "genius", although, at Sedan, he would prove completely the opposite, which sadly enough was a factor for the entire French General Staff.
		Generalissimo Gamelin, Commander and Chief of the entire French Army, ordered Sedan to be defended at all costs, but, defiant of this, Huntziger left the east bank of the city to be left virtually undefended due to purely strategic reasons.
		Gamelin finally received a report from Sedan, at 9:25 P.M. on May 13, where Huntziger alleged that only a "small slice has been bitten off south of Sedan," which was quite misleading since the Marfeé woods were as good as taken, and the 55th was no longer available for resistance.

		Modern battles Count Schlieffen characterizes even more than earlier battles as a "struggle for the flanks." Therefore he stresses the necessity, in case parts of an army have made frontal contact with the enemy, that the neighboring columns be allowed to march further so that they may be able to turn against flank and rear.
		The problem of fighting a battle of extermination with a strength half that of the enemy was, however, solved to a certain degree.
		Ney reached the battle field in time, he was not sent against the flank, but against the point of the right wing and Blucher, however great his wish to hold out, was able to escape the fatal blow and was obliged to do so.

		Virtual Art is less the work of art history and aesthetics (that context remains to be written), and (according to Joel Slayton in the foreword), more a "history of illusion and realism." The book presents an historical survey of art works that seek to enclose the viewer inside a discreet spatio-temporal zone.
		Chapter titles begin with "Historic Spaces of Illusion" (from friezes of Pompeii to panoramas of glorious military battles (The Battle of Sedan 1883)), and then takes a route through intermedia; processual art; data mapping spatialities; telepresence and its alliance with mysterious appearances; ending finally with "Evolution" - biogenetics, AI (artificial intelligence) and trans-appearances.
		"The opening of the Sedan panorama on September 1, 1883, the anniversary of the Battle of Sedan [1], was a political and media event of the first order.
