Wars were fought the world over between the 11th and 17th centuries as navies, armies, and chartered merchant companies battled one another (and local rulers), and continental rivalries turned into global struggles for power, territory, markets, and souls. Religion was used to justify armed conflict, often on a massive, global, scale. Earthly motivations such as greed and a hunger for power almost always played a part, but they did not legitimate war as divine sanction could. The wars of the Reformation and Counter-Reformation in Europe in the 16th and 17th centuries were but the most ferocious and intense of a number of wars of religion fought in this period. The Middle East and India saw religious wars, while in the Americas, ideas of divine kingship motivated the Inca and Aztec empires to wage war on their neighbours. This unparalleled work offers an impressive variety of entries on the cultural, military, and political history, as well as geography, biography, and philosophy, of this period. Close to 2,000 entries offer detailed information on the major events, places, battles, figures, technologies, and ideas behind six centuries of global conflicts.
