  • The Nafziger
    THE NAFZIGER ORDERS OF BATTLE COLLECTION FINDING AID Updated: June 2012 This collection was provided through the generous donation of George Nafziger to the Combined Arms Research Library. The Nafziger Orders Of Battle Collection contains a compilation of 7985 individual orders of battle from 1600 to 1945. It began with George Nafziger’s interest in Napoleonic Wars, and steadily grew to other areas because of the gaming public's interest in these highly detailed historical orders of battle. Sources range from published works to actual archival documents, which represent the largest single source. Nearly all orders of battle break down to the regimental level. The availability of strength figures and artillery equipment varies from period to period. Orders of Battle are available in PDF format using this finding aid. Use the search function to locate the Order of battle by title or file name. The corresponding link will take you to the Order of Battle. The American Civil War portion of the Nafziger Collection contains 812 individual orders of battle from 1861-1865. Brett Schulte scanned the American Civil War orders of battle for George Nafziger. They are available here due to their generosity. Mr. Schulte writes a blog which is available at http://www.brettschulte.net/CWBlog.

Como acontecimientos importantes en este tercer cuarto del siglo XVII, que se encuentran desarrollados en éste capítulo, podemos indicar los siguientes: La continuación de la guerra cingalesa-portuguesa desde 1651 y hasta 1658, con intervención de Holanda, a la que le interesaba el control de las especias en la zona. Esto junto con la continuidad de la guerra holandesa – portuguesa desde 1651 hasta 1663, cuando se disputaban las colonias que Portugal tenía en distintos lugares del mundo y sobre todo en Brasil, para la extracción de las materias primas y la obtención de esclavos. España, a su vez, tuvo que luchar contra la declaración de la Jihad en filipinas 1656 y los levantamientos en América de los pueblos originarios, hartos del dominio español. Entre ellos, se destacan las rebeliones del Caribe, de Guatemala, de los pueblos mejicanos, en Colombia, Venezuela, Perú, Chile (la guerra de Arauco) y Argentina. Además los piratas, casi siempre financiados por sus propios gobiernos, a los que les convenía el botín, siguieron atacando los distintos pueblos recientemente conquistados, sobre todo en América y parte de Asia.
