Which war influenced the need for Appert's invention?
World War I
Franco-Prussian War
Napoleonic Wars
World War II
Answer
The Napoleonic Wars drove the need for Appert's invention of food preservation. The prolonged campaigns and the need to feed large armies far from home necessitated a method of preserving food that would prevent spoilage. Appert's invention, which involved heating food in sealed glass jars, provided a solution to this problem, allowing food to be stored for extended periods without losing its nutritional value or taste.
