How did West Point compare to European military academies? Was a West Point education considered second tier, or amongst the best in the world?
Given the Europeans had more experience with large scale battles (Waterloo vs War of 1812), were their academies a much better training ground for Civil War combat?
Assuming the answer is yes, are there any examples of European educated mastermind Civil War generals?
