In the pike and shot era, wars were increasingly fought far away from the homelands of most soldiers. A soldier from Spain, for example, could move as far away as to Italy, France, the Netherlands or Germany, and even overseas to the Americas. The recruitment process and the long marches that were required to reach these distant theaters of war became more and more complex in terms of recruitment, administrative organization and logistics. In this video, we will have a look at how modern historiography explains how an early modern soldier made his way to the field of battle.
