  He forgot to say that afterwards more than 50% of italian territory was held by the Spanish Monarchy or by his allies (Genoa)

  The Tercios were the most feared troops in Europe for almost 200 years, defended the Catholic church more than any other army.

  Together with Kings and Generals channel, this was an excellent walkthrough of this clusterf*ck war period which leaves everyone superconfused when reading about it.

  I love how this parallels Greek city states and the Roman Empire.

  So basically everyone fought everyone, then changed sides three times and fought everyone again. Halfway through the video, I&apos;ve already lost the plot 😅

  Enjoying your channel 👍<br>It would have sucked to be a map maker in the 1500&apos;s 😁

  Great summary. But you should&apos;ve mentioned the recent discovery of America, which gave to some European countries (like Spain) momentum to get involved in such long lasting conflicts. Similarly, the relative decline of Italian cities is due to trade routes shifting away from the Mediterranean. So, yeah, some more context would give life to otherwise cold war reports.
