The story of the war from this stage is, in effect, the story of a struggle betwixt these two great and rival forms of warlike power. France had many advantages. Bonaparte himself summed up one aspect of the relative strength of the two contending nations by saying, "In the long run 15, 000, 000 must yield to 40, 000, 000.
