Séré de Rivières system
The Séré de Rivières system was named after Raymond Adolphe Séré de Rivières, its originator.
The system was an ensemble of fortifications built from 1874 along the frontiers and coasts of France.
The fortresses were obsolescent by 1914 but were still used during the First World War.
John George II, Duke of Saxe-Eisenach
Johann Georg II, Duke of Saxe- Eisenach( Friedewald, 24 July
1665 – Eisenach, 10 November 1698), was a duke of Saxe- Eisenach.
He was the second son of Johann Georg I, Duke of Saxe- Eisenach and Johannetta of Sayn- Wittgenstein.
The death of his older brother, Frederick August—who was killed in battle in 1684 — make him the new heir of the duchy of Saxe- Eisenach.
Two years later( 1686), Johann Georg succeeded his father when he died.
In Kirchheim unter Teck on 20 September 1688 Johann Georg married with Sophie Charlotte of Württemberg.
This union was childless.
When his cousin, the young Duke Johann Wilhelm of Saxe- Jena died( 1690) Johann Georg inherited a part of his duchy, because he was compelled to make a divisionary treaty with the Duke Wilhelm Ernst of Saxe- Weimar, his other cousin and brother- in- law of the late duke.
Johann Georg died suddenly of smallpox, and was succeeded by his brother, Johann Wilhelm.
Fort de Cormeilles-en-Parisis
The Fort de Cormeilles- en- Parisis was constructed between 1874 and 1877 as part of a new plan for the defense of Paris developed by General Raymond Adolphe Séré de Rivières, near the town of Cormeilles- en- Parisis.
During the Franco- Prussian War, German troops had used the hill upon which the fort sits as a spotting and firing location, ideal for the siting of new rifled guns whose range was increased over old- fashioned smooth- bore guns.
These weapons could attack Paris from Cormeilles, so a new outer ring of forts had to be built outside the first ring of forts built in 1840- 1860 to deny the area to enemy gunners.
The Séré de Rivières system was designed as a response to these technological innovations, and to the loss of French territories in Alsace and Lorraine.
