The oldest strategies are military strategies. During the course of history, especially during the time of Napoleon I, strategies became increasingly important. An important goal of strategists was it to keep the small, well trained and expensive armies during absolutism from being destroyed. This lead to a mathematical/scientific strategy of maneuvering.
