While it began with a French attempt to gain control over the territory of Naples, it soon expanded to a general struggle between the royal houses of Valois and Habsburg-specifically, Francis I of France and the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. By the time the dust settled, the French were expelled from the Italian Peninsula, and the Spanish Habsburgs emerged with control over large parts of Italy, from Milan to Naples. Italians would not fully regain their independence from this control until the mid-nineteenth century. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Italian Wars represented a change in warfare tactics from contract armies common in the medieval period to full-time standing armies common in the modern era; for this reason, they are often viewed as being the dividing line between medieval times and the modern era in Europe. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eDiscover a plethora of topics such as\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrelude to War: French Aggression\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe First Italian War: The War of Charles VIII\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Second Italian War: The War of Louis XII\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe First War between Charles V and Francis I\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Habsburg-Valois Wars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Last Italian War\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnd much more!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eSo if you want a concise and informative book on the Italian Wars, simply scroll up and click the \"Buy now\" button!\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hourly History\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798757407050\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 58\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.81h x 5.06w x 0.12d","brand":"Hourly History","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48460104925439,"sku":"9798757407050","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_92488b3c-9fe4-4ae5-872c-3d19c7e25044.jpg?v=1777413185","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/italian-wars-hourly-history-9798757407050","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
