The Ecole Polytechnique does not aim anymore to train officers. The Ecole Spéciale Militaire de Saint Cyr is the one responsible for it.

"analyse" is not a typo...

| Jul 10, 2015 at 16:30 | comment | added | Evil Washing Machine | I honestly think this is a good answer. While yes polling questions raise the awkward question of which answer should be accepted, they'll also hopefully generate high quality lists backed up by references like this one. Other answers would get my upvote too. | |

| Jul 10, 2015 at 16:11 | comment | added | Semaphore | @MarkC.Wallace I think it would be better if you start a new question on meta specifically about questions asking for any example of something, as opposed to generic lists. Btw, I think I was thinking of this one: meta.history.stackexchange.com/questions/1971/… | |
| Jul 10, 2015 at 15:47 | comment | added | MCW♦ | [Answer1](meta.history.stackexchange.com/q/667/1401], and answer0. I don't mean to carry on discussion here; let's redirect to the meta question of your choice? | |
| Jul 10, 2015 at 15:26 | comment | added | Semaphore | @MarkC.Wallace Well, it's an impression I have which could well be wrong. I think there was a post last year on meta about it, but I can't find the link off hand. | |
| Jul 10, 2015 at 13:42 | comment | added | MCW♦ | I thought we'd come to the opposite conclusion. If I'm wrong, I need to reverse some downvotes. I don't have time today, but could we record a decision on this in meta? Perhaps "how to ask an polling question and how to get good answers from a polling question?" | |
| Jul 10, 2015 at 13:41 | comment | added | Semaphore | @MarkC.Wallace H.SE has generally accepted question asking for any example of something, which requires no determination on what is better. | |
| Jul 10, 2015 at 13:26 | comment | added | MCW♦ | But it remains a polling question. Which answer is better, Cannae or Gettysburg? Which should be accepted? | |
| Jul 10, 2015 at 13:16 | comment | added | Semaphore | I originally voted to close the question because I assumed the answer would be trivial and obvious. However, after giving Google a try it seems that this is not that easy to find if you don't already know the names of reputedly "textbook" battles. | |
