1. Austrian. Another self-serving powermonger. He chaired the Congress of Vienna (1814-1815) which was a series of diplomatic meetings between the European powers after Napoleon had temporarily left the building. Ostensibly the negotiations were to provide a long-term peace plan for Europe. In reality they were to carve up Europe and to reach agreements on who got this and who got that. Napoleon returned to the building to look for his hat. After a hundred days of searching, he found it... and left the building again. Never to return.
Moltke the Elder was chief-of-staff of the Prussian Army for thirty years. Moltke the Younger (his nephew) commanded the German Army at the outset of WWI. The irony is... the Elder built the Prussian/German war machine to combat any possible military threat to the nation. The Younger walked into a war where technology would be the deciding factor. Who knew? Mannerheim is a Finnish national hero in the place where Finns are most likely to be found. According to Norse legend, Mannerheim caught some vodka swillers trying to break into his sauna to steal his reindeers. He sent them packing in the Winter War... sans reindeers.
