  Carl von Clausewitz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carl von Clausewitz was born in Burg bei Magdeburg, Prussia in 1780.
Clausewitz, along with Hermann von Boyen (1771–1848) and Karl von Grolman (1777–1843), were Scharnhorst's primary allies in his later efforts to reform the Prussian army, between 1807 and 1814.
Clausewitz, serving as Aide-de-Camp to Prince August, was captured during the Jena Campaign in October of 1806 when Napoleon invaded Prussia and defeated the massed Prussian-Saxon army commanded by Karl Wilhelm Ferdinand, Duke of Brunswick (who was mortally wounded), in twin battles at Jena and Auerstedt (see Battle of Jena-Auerstedt) on October 14, 1806.

Clausewitz's answer to question (1) is that war in itself is a duel on a large scale, which unless acted on from the outside, tends towards the maximum possible amount of violence.
Clausewitz's answer to question (2) is one of the major reasons why "pure war" doesn't, can't, and shouldn't exist in the real world.
Clausewitz's theory of war considered war to be "a remarkable trinity" of rational action (policy), irrational action (passion) and the play of chance (friction versus genius).

 Clausewitz, General Karl von, VOM KRIEGE
Before Clausewitz's theories on war appeared, Jomini's military tactics were supreme in Europe and in the United States.
Clausewitz's theories were not put into practice until thirty years later, however.
Thus, the change was based on Clausewitz's ideas that war needed to be waged on a number of different levels (economic, psychological, the homefront, e.g.); a code of honor was less necessary; and generals and armies should be pursued rather than simply targeting major cities.

The Prussian military thinker Carl von Clausewitz is widely acknowledged as the most important of the major strategic theorists.
Judging by the recent increase in published discussion, it appears that we are entering yet another of the periodic upsurges in the study of Clausewitz and his theories regarding war.

Karl von Clausewitz  [1780-1831] Prussian general and writer on military strategy.
If it does not originate in the feelings, it REACTS, more or less, upon them, and the extent of this reaction depends not on the degree of civilisation, but upon the importance and duration of the interests involved.
Therefore, if we find civilised nations do not put their prisoners to death, do not devastate towns and countries, this is because their intelligence exercises greater influence on their mode of carrying on War, and has taught them more effectual means of applying force than these rude acts of mere instinct.

Quotes and Notes from the great military thinker Karl von Clausewitz
On the strategic level, Clausewitz wrote that victory in war required: 1) the complete or partial destruction of the enemy's armed forces; 2) the occupation of his country; and 3) the breaking of his will to fight.
On the tactical level, victory involves: 1) the enemy's greater loss of material strength; 2) his loss of morale; and 3) his admission of the same by abandoning his intentions.
