A continuation of Foundations I, this course addresses the same set of questions by examining relationships among the three central pillars of military activity—the people and systems employed in combat, the institutions and processes which direct their activities in peace and in war, and the religious and intellectual traditions which shape both men and institutions—from the High Middle Ages to the First World War. The course emphasizes major military and naval innovations, strategy and culture, and the military revolutions. Required for the minor in Military History and Strategy.
