First Sentence

THE military history of the fifteenth century may be described, not inaccurately, as being shut up in many water-tight compartments-(1) The wars of the English and the French ; (2) the wars of the Castilians with their neighbours of Granada, Portugal, and Aragon ; (3) the wars of the Italian States with each other, all waged by proxy with hired bands of condottieri ; (4) the wars of the Hussites with the Germans and Hungarians ; (5) the wars of the Kings of Hungary with the Ottoman Sultans, or with their Austrian neighbours ; (6) the wars of the Russians with their former masters, the Tartars of the Steppes ; (7) the continual bickering of the Danes and Swedes ; (8) the aggressive wars of the Swiss Confederates with the Hapsburgs, the Lords of Milan, and later with the Duke of Burgundy.
