This text details the transition from medieval combat to early modern warfare, a period defined by the global adoption of gunpowder technology. The introduction of artillery and firearms fundamentally changed the scale of conflict, shifting power from armored aristocrats to centralized states capable of funding professional, mass-scale armies. These military advancements necessitated new fortification designs, such as star-shaped bastions, and revolutionized naval tactics during the Age of Sail. The overview also highlights how this transformation occurred globally, significantly impacting the military strategies of Islamic gunpowder empires, East Asian dynasties, and European powers. Ultimately, the source argues that this era’s high costs and administrative demands fostered the development of modern bureaucratic governance and national identity.
