What were the most evenly matched wars in Human History, i.e. difficult to predict who would win.
I'd say seven year war, Franco Prussian war and ww1 are good nominees.
You mean seemingly evenly matched? Because the French were outclassed in every way during the Franco-Prussian War aside from having good rifles. The Germans in WWI also had way more artillery than their opponents.

The French destroed the prussians in navy. Had they concentrated their artillery on defense in the north and made naval landings in northern Prussia to quickly capture their manufacturing bases, they could've won.
In WW1, Germany was destroyed in manpower but compensated with their fantastic technology and manufacturing. Russians were a literal meme in ww1.

Of course, the enemy is massing on the Rhine but let's make a MASSIVE detour to quickly capture manufacturies in hopes they run out of supplies a stone's throw away from Paris... because there totally aren't any factories in the Rhineland or anything.
