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. Readers will examine how military changes impacted Portugal and its possessions across Africa, the Americas, and Asia. 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. Whether you are a student of history or a researcher interested in early modern warfare, this book offers a detailed analysis of how military shifts shaped the reach and defense of Portuguese overseas territories. It provides a necessary look at the connection between imperial expansion and changing military practices.
