European Warfare, 1350–1750
The period 1350 to 1750 saw major developments in European
warfare, which not only had a huge impact on the way wars were
fought, but are also critical to long-standing controversies about state
development, the global ascendancy of the West, and the nature of
‘military revolutions’ past and present. However, the military history
of this period is usually written from either medieval or early-modern,
and either western or eastern European, perspectives. These chrono-
logical and geographical limits have produced substantial confusion
about how the conduct of war changed. The chapters in this book
provide a comprehensive overview of land and sea warfare across Eur-
ope throughout this period of momentous political, religious, techno-
logical, intellectual, and military change. Written by leading experts
in their fields, it not only summarises existing scholarship, but also
presents new findings and new ideas, casting new light on the art of
war, the rise of the state, and European expansion.
