‘War, its conduct, cost, consequences and preparations for conflict, were all central to history in the early modern period. As European exploration and trade linked hitherto separated regions, so force played a crucial role in these new relationships and in their consequences. Conflict was also crucial to the history of relations between Euopean states, as well as to their internal histories’.

‘Since the 1970s attempts by historians to provide generalised explanations about the connections between the development of armed forces and the transformation of early modern Europe have been centred on the Anglo-Saxon Military Revolution debate’.
