The hussar regiment was formed in northern Pomerania (in present-day northern Germany) in the late 1750s, during the so-called Seven Years War (1756-1763), which was fought almost exclusively on Pomeranian soil and therefore also was referred to as the Pomeranian War.
The remainder of the Pomeranian dominion held by Sweden after 1720 would often be referred to as “Swedish Pomerania”; until it ceded all this territory in 1814.
The recruitment to the hussar regiment took place in an international labor market with considerable labor mobility in an era when the idea of nationality and national identity probably was not deeply rooted among those who were seeking a position, although the recruitment was largely concentrated in the Baltic Sea region.

 World War I
To fight one set of wars at the start of the twentieth century to unify Serbs and Croats and to fight another set of wars at the end to dissolve the union and "ethnically cleanse" the region seems among the sickest of the jokes History plays on human populations.
The Franco-Prussian War of 1870, the Austro-Prussian War of 1866, the Prusso-Danish War of 1864, the Franco-Austrian War of 1859, and the Balkan Wars of the early twentieth century had all seen armies assemble, armies march, a pitched battle or two, one army in retreat or dissolution, and a peace treaty signed.
As the war settled into stalemate, generals called for greater and greater commitments of resources to the front: if battles could not be won by strategy, perhaps they could be won by the sheer weight of men, metal, and explosives committed to the front.

While the Spanish-American War was arguably a media event, at least we had a geopolitical stake in going to war and from that war we made substantial gains in power, territory, and prestige.
The humanitarian effect of the war has been at best ambiguous against the baseline of the containment period that preceded it, and if current trends continue, the overall effect will be that of a humanitarian disaster.
But complaints about this war are not noticeably different from complaints about earlier wars, where small mistakes (identifiable as such with the benefit of hindsight) resulted in enormous harm.

 “Still not worth the healthy bones of a single Pomeranian grenadier: Conflicts in the Balkans in light of American ...
The war illustrated the continuities of geopolitical traditions and the dilemmas of the allocation of eastern Europe, to the maritime (Western) or landpower (Russian) orbit.
Between the wars, periods of geopolitical transitions were marked by neutrality, departure from the rivalries, and finally, in 1945, a shift from a West-East alliance to a West-Center alliance against the East (Soviet Union and its allies) in a bi-polar division of Europe.
By firing Prime Minister Yevgeny Primakov in the middle of the Kosovo war, President Yelstsin signified the marginalization of the "anti-Western forces" in Russia; in this regard, by reaching accomodation with the West to settle ethnic conflicts in the Balkans, the Yeltsin behaved as the inheritors of the tradition of Foreign Minister Gorchakov.
