Military Revolution and the Thirty Years War 1618-1648
Book • 2023
The book delves into how the Thirty Years War accelerated and initiated transformations in four military institutions that defined land warfare during the early modern period.
It explores the Military Revolution theory, originally proposed by Michael Roberts, which suggests that changes in military technology and tactics between 1560 and 1660 led to a revolutionary transformation in how early modern states organized themselves for war.
The book also discusses the roles of key figures such as Maurice of Nassau and Gustaf Adolf of Sweden, and the economic and social implications of these military innovations on state formation.
