Description

Explore the early modern military history of Portugal and its vast global territories with this scholarly work from Routledge. This book addresses the significant debate surrounding the military revolution in international historiography by applying these theories to the Portuguese context.

By using specific Portuguese case studies, the text provides a global perspective on how warfare evolved during this period. This volume fills a major gap in historical research, connecting the concept of military revolution to the history of one of the world's first global empires.
