British Cavalry Charge at Waterloo, 1815   Major European Wars and Conflicts of the 19th Century   The 19th Century was an era of nationalism, revolution, and numerous wars between powerful nations. From the Napoleonic Wars to the great Revolutions of the 1820s and 1840s, to the Wars of Unification for both Italy and Germany, and beyond, the wars of the 1800s left lasting effects on the entire world, and set the stage for the great World Wars fo the next century. Below is a list (with links) of the major European wars of the nineteenth century. Any such list is by nature somewhat subjective, but the wars and conflicts listed below all had a significant impact on history.
