Summary/Abstract: The General Staff is outlined in a modern form in the second half of the nineteenth century and even at the beginning of the twentieth century in all major armies as an imitation of the German model, which had demonstrated its importance by a series of victories in the wars of 1864, 1866 and 1870-1871.Two variants of organization will emerge until 1914, German and French, having the same set of functions in planning, coordinating and supervising military actions.Beside the number of main divisions, 2, 3, 4 or more, the obligation to graduate a War Academy for all staff officers was universal, which would lead to a high level of training, but also a privileged status in the structure of the military.
