The Swedish artillery was much lighter. Baroque horse Basket-hilted sword. After regrouping, in June Mansfeld advanced again, the Imperial forces having been weakened by the need to send troops to quell a peasant revolt in Upper Austria. Paperback Books Vladimir Nabokov. Hospitals, schools, and churches were strictly off-limits as targets. I've got the same question. Lacking both support from his coalition partners and reliable knowledge of the political situation, in January Christian advanced across the Elbe with 17, men, a mixture of mercenaries and peasant conscripts, heading for Hameln on the Weser. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Because English and Dutch naval power blocked the sea route from Iberia to the Netherlands, Spain relied upon the Spanish Road to supply and reinforce her armies in the Low Countries. Alternatively, when within pistol-shot, the first three ranks of musketeers gave a volley, followed by the remainder, before the battalion charged home with pike, sword and musket stock. Nothing on Amazon either. By , however, the Catholic armies had stretched their forces too thin and ran into trouble when attempting to besiege the port city of Stralsund on the Baltic Sea. Expecting their men to support themselves through pillage and requisition, entrepreneurs made scant supply arrangements. Under the direction of Piccolomini the Congress of Nuremberg, which sat until July , implemented the Peace of Westphalia by arranging the demobilization of the armies. In- addition, sections of musketeers accompanied the horse to disrupt enemy formations by fire prior to the charge. Plastic Medium Consistency. Mercy was killed and his army destroyed. He could advance on Vienna through Silesia; pursue Tilly into the Lower Saxon Circle; or march to the fertile lands of the Rhine and the Main in search of supplies and contributions.

Gustav Adolf abandoned the caracole and imitated the Poles, training his cavalry to charge at the trot with the sabre. Maximilian of Bavaria joined Tilly at Ingolstadt, but their combined army numbered only 22, men. The following spring, Gustavus defeated Tilly again, and the imperial commander died of wounds a few weeks later. Tilly next marched to block the small army of Christian of Brunswick , a young adventurer of questionable judgement, whom he defeated at Hochst in the Odenwald on 20 June. Ehrenbreitstein, overlooking the confluence of the Rhine and the Mosel at Koblenz, was fortified by the Elector of Trier, whilst Christopher von Sotern, Bishop of Speyer, built the massive fortress of Philippsburg at Udenheim on the Rhine south of the Palatinate. Well if you expect it to be bad then you'll get pleasantly surprised by any good parts. Whereas marching troops could usually find enough forage and sustenance, immobile troops were liable to starve. Gradually these mercenary leaders mutated into officers of the state army, to be joined by a host of minor nobility and imperial knights in pursuit of the new career opportunities and cash rewards. Crossing the border with 19, infantry and 8, cavalry, he besieged the small fortress of Rocroi , which commanded the confluence of two routes to Paris, one through Reims, the other via Soissons. Imperial Armies of the Thirty Years War: Cavalry v. 2 Writer Unlike the pillaging and looting encouraged in the armies of Tilly and Wallenstein, the Swedish army was banned from any action against civilians. Populations were sparse, resulting in both conscription and the widespread employment of mercenaries. Related Content.

Consequently, battlefield deployment assumed a chequerboard appearance with the spaces between the battalions in the first line covered in echelon by the battalions of the second and, if present, third lines. Construction, begun in , took eight years. When his troops occupied a region, every town and village was assessed and ordered to pay a sum in cash or kind. Many smaller Italian and German states paid an annual retainer to a military entrepreneur in the knowledge that he could exploit his contacts to raise troops quickly in an emergency. Despite his speed, Gustav would have been too late had not Bernard of Saxe-Weimar moved his army into the area and stood firm until Gustav joined him at Arnstadt, south of Erfurt. Many links existed between the Dutch Republic and Sweden — economic, military, naval and diplomatic. Both armies deployed their infantry in two lines, staggered so that the tercios in the second line covered the spaces in the first, with cavalry on the flanks, but Conde had sufficient troops to enable him to form a third, reserve line comprising horse and foot. The Catholic League pledged Matthias its army of 30, men under the highly experienced Tilly. War Archive ed. Although the Dutch had attacked Spain indirectly by providing financial support to Frederick of the Palatinate, the termination of the Twelve Years Truce obliged them to confront their enemy openly. In action the tercio was tactically flexible, capable of forming task forces — escuadrons — mixing varying numbers of troops and types of weapons. During the imperial interregnum of , Habsburg troops no longer formed the army for the Emperor, but that of the Queen of Hungary. Heeresgeschichtliches Museum Wien ed. A fleeting possibility of help for the Catholic League and the emperor occurred when the Spanish Army of the Netherlands took Speyer and a few places along the Lower Rhine in order to reopen the Spanish Road and protect it against Swedish depredations. Having entered Germany without allies, invitation, or any clear idea of what he was going to do, Gustav was forced by strategic defeat to devise a policy. In Germany the military systems that fought the Thirty Years War were in place by the s. Early in the spring of Torstensson led 15, men equipped with sixty cannon into Bohemia and attacked a similar sized body of Imperialists, commanded by Count Hatzfeld, on 6 March at Jankov , south-east of Prague.

  • The German North Sea Ports' Absorption Into Imperial Germany, 1866–1914
    From Unification to Integration: The German North Sea Ports' absorption into Imperial Germany, 1866–1914 Henning Kuhlmann Submitted for the award of Master of Philosophy in History Cardiff University 2016 Summary This thesis concentrates on the economic integration of three principal German North Sea ports – Emden, Bremen and Hamburg – into the Bismarckian nation- state. Prior to the outbreak of the First World War, Emden, Hamburg and Bremen handled a major share of the German Empire’s total overseas trade. However, at the time of the foundation of the Kaiserreich, the cities’ roles within the Empire and the new German nation-state were not yet fully defined. Initially, Hamburg and Bremen insisted upon their traditional role as independent city-states and remained outside the Empire’s customs union. Emden, meanwhile, had welcomed outright annexation by Prussia in 1866. After centuries of economic stagnation, the city had great difficulties competing with Hamburg and Bremen and was hoping for Prussian support. This thesis examines how it was possible to integrate these port cities on an economic and on an underlying level of civic mentalities and local identities. Existing studies have often overlooked the importance that Bismarck attributed to the cultural or indeed the ideological re-alignment of Hamburg and Bremen. Therefore, this study will look at the way the people of Hamburg and Bremen traditionally defined their (liberal) identity and the way this changed during the 1870s and 1880s. It will also investigate the role of the acquisition of colonies during the process of Hamburg and Bremen’s accession. In Hamburg in particular, the agreement to join the customs union had a significant impact on the merchants’ stance on colonialism.

  • Princes and Merchants: European City Growth Before the Industrial Revolution*
    Princes and Merchants: European City Growth before the Industrial Revolution* J. Bradford De Long NBER and Harvard University Andrei Shleifer Harvard University and NBER March 1992; revised December 1992 Abstract As measured by the pace of city growth in western Europe from 1000 to 1800, absolutist monarchs stunted the growth of commerce and industry. A region ruled by an absolutist prince saw its total urban population shrink by one hundred thousand people per century relative to a region without absolutist government. This might be explained by higher rates of taxation under revenue-maximizing absolutist governments than under non- absolutist governments, which care more about general economic prosperity and less about State revenue. *We thank Alberto Alesina, Marco Becht, Claudia Goldin, Carol Heim, Larry Katz, Paul Krugman, Michael Kremer, Robert Putnam, and Robert Waldmann for helpful discussions. We also wish to thank the National Bureau of Economic Research, and the National Science Foundation for support. 1. Introduction One of the oldest themes in economics is the incompatibility of despotism and development. Economies in which security of property is lacking—either because of the possibility of arrest, ruin, or execution at the command of the ruling prince, or the possibility of ruinous taxation— should, according to economists, see relative stagnation. By contrast, economies in which property is secure—either because of strong constitutional restrictions on the prince, or because the ruling élite is made up of merchants rather

    1 Paper presented the March 28, 2003, Conference at Princeton University tituled “Imperial Crucibles”, organized by professors Jeremy Adelman and Stanley Stein. A Later version of this paper was published as "The Fiscal Logic of the Spanish Empire: New Spain and the Costs and Benefits of Colonialism, 1750-1810", en Renate Pieper & Peer Schmidt (eds.), Latin America and the Atlantic World. El mundo atlántico y América Latina (1500-1850). Essays in honor of Horst Pietschmann, Berlin, Böhlau verlag Köln Weimar Wien, 2005, pp. 367-385. THE FISCAL LOGIC OF THE SPANISH EMPIRE: NEW SPAIN AND THE COSTS AND BENEFITS OF COLONIALISM, 1750-1810 Carlos Marichal (El Colegio de México) From before the time of Gibbon, historians with a global perspective have been discussing the rise and fall of empires. Today political scientists frequently speak of hegemonic states. If we look to some of the best-known studies conducted over the last forty-odd years, we can identify various, theoretical approaches adopted by those working on imperial or hegemonic states. On the one hand, there is a well-known school of researchers who are identified as belonging to the world-system school, which operates at a high level of generality to explain major changes in the international power structures by situating them 2 within the cyclical rhythms and secular trends of the world economy as a whole. 1 A second school which can be denominated as geopolitical, has paid more attention to analysis of the military, naval or coercive capabilities of hegemonic states to maintain their power and their mercantile or territorial empires.2 A third approach adopted by historical sociologists, like Charles Tilly, has offered explanations based on the changing capacities of states to exercise power through manipulation of capital and coercion.

ARNADE HOUGH FLORIDA had been discovered by Ponce de Leon in T 1513, not until 1565 did it become a Spanish province in fact. In that year Pedro Menendez de Aviles was able to establish a permanent capital which he called St. Augustine. Menendez and successive executives had plans to make St. Augustine a thriving metropolis ruling over a vast Spanish colony that might possibly be elevated to a viceroyalty. Nothing of this sort happened. By 1599 Florida was in desperate straits: Indians had rebelled and butchered the Franciscan missionaries, fire and flood had made life in St. Augustine miserable, English pirates of such fame as Drake had ransacked the town, local jealousies made life unpleasant.

As far as available, data about main loess characteristics like thickness, granulometry and stratigraphy were combined for the first time with spatial information extracted from maps. Data storage and analysis in a geographical information system (GIS) permitted creation of large-scale thematic loess maps. The loess thickness map displays an increase of the thickness in valleys and basins and from north to south. The granulometry map presents main granulometrical facies types of the loess cover. Furthermore, several loess locations with unusual thickness were identified and their special geological and geomorphological conditions are discussed. In summary, the loessic sediments in the northern part of the study area are of Upper Weichselian age, whereas in the south- ern upland regions incomplete or detailed Weichselian loess sequences were identified. In conclusion, highly detailed maps of regional loess-property patterns can be created even if only heterogeneous historically published data are taken into account.

First and foremost, I would like to thank my dissertation chair, Dr. Thomas Cogswell, for his excellent guidance throughout my years at the University of California, Riverside. When I arrived as a first-year graduate student, I had very little certainty of what I wanted to do in the field of Early Modern Britain, and I felt more than a bit overwhelmed at the well-trod historiographical world I had just entered. Dr. Cogswell quickly took me under his wing and steered me gently through a research path that helped me find my current project, and he subsequently took a great interest in following my progress through research and writing. I salute his heroic readings and re-readings of drafts of chapters, conference papers, and proposals, and his perennial willingness to have a good chat over a cup of coffee and to help dispel the many frustrations that come from dissertation writing.

This dissertation argues that this was part of a larger global process in Latin America, Iberian Asia, Spanish North Africa, British North America and Europe.
