  Italian Wars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Italian Wars involved all the major states of western Europe from 1494 to 1559: France, Spain, the Holy Roman Empire, England, Scotland, the Republic of Venice, the Papal States, and most of the city-states of Italy.
The inconclusive third war between Charles and Francis began with the death of Francesco Maria Sforza, the duke of Milan.
The Italian Wars had a number of impacts on the work and workplace of Leonardo da Vinci, for example scuppering his plans for a "Gran Cavallo" horse statue in 1495 when the seventy tons of bronze were instead cast into weapons to save Milan.

 Italian War of 1521 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Italian War of 1521 (1521–26) was an episode in the Italian Wars involving Francis I of France, Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, and a number of other European powers.
The war was a clear defeat of France and a victory for Spain, England, Holy Roman Empire and the Papal States.
Francis thus resolved to invade Habsburg territory, a venture in which he was supported by the Republic of Venice, the Papacy, and a number of smaller Italian states.

 The Dominion of War - Fred Anderson - Penguin Group (USA)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Unlike the three previous wars between Britain and France, this one ended in a decisive victory, as a result of which the North American empire of France ceased to exist and Spain (France’s ally in the final year of the war) was compelled to surrender its imperial claims east of the Mississippi River.
Americans continued to fight wars according to the just-war ideology first worked out in the War of 1812—the notion that to be justified wars must either protect or expand the sphere of liberty—and that they have applied, in one form or another, ever since.
It denies that chauvinist demands for imperial wars in 1812, 1846, and 1898 were somehow exceptions to an otherwise pacific history in which Americans make war only when they have been driven to it by the need to preserve their threatened liberties.

 History Of Italy
Many Italians are afraid of being appreciated only for their past; yet, for a proper understanding of present-day Italy, it is necessary to go back to pre-Roman times, at least seven or eight centuries before the present era.
Besides their involvement in the issues of Trentino and Trieste, the natural sympathies of the Italians were enlisted on the side of the Allies because of what was portrayed as the brutal German aggression against Belgium, the atrocities committed by the Germans in the invaded countries, and the vandalism of the German troops.
Italian soldiers were sent as "volunteers" to fight for General Francisco Franco in the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), and Albania was occupied in 1939.

 Chapter 19: A History of Spain and Portugal, vol. 2   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The War of Independence was in the long run a struggle of attrition in which the French were ground down by constant harassment and, from 1812, by the commitment of Napoleon's main strength to eastern and central Europe.
The seat of Spanish government during the greater part of the War of Independence was Cádiz, the country's leading Atlantic port, separated from the mainland by a narrow peninsula easily defended from French assault, protected and provisioned by the British and Spanish fleets.
That the civil war lasted nearly seven years was due in large measure to the disarray of the nascent liberal regime, unable to generate the considerable resources of money, manpower, and material needed to fight campaigns of attrition against regional forces.

Other causes for discontent were found in the unfortunate war with Urbino and in the abolition of the election capitulations and the excessive privileges of the cardinals.
The war with Urbino, encouraged by Francis I and Maximilian for the purpose of increasing Leo's difficulties, was finally brought to a close, after having cost enormous sums and emptied the papal treasury.

 Italian Wars. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
The wars began when, in 1494, Charles VIII of France invaded Italy and seized (1495) Naples without effort, only to be forced to retreat by a coalition of Spain, the Holy Roman emperor, the pope, Venice, and Milan.
The rivalry between Francis I and Charles V, king of Spain and (after 1519) Holy Roman emperor, reopened warfare in 1521, and the French were badly defeated in the Battle of Pavia (1525), the most important in the long wars.
The war ended (1529) with the Treaty of Cambrai (see Cambrai, Treaty of) and the renunciation of Francis’s claims in Italy.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Martin Luther
The "gospel", he now sees, "cannot be introduced without tumult, scandal, and rebellion"; "the word of God is a sword, a war, a destruction, a scandal, a ruin, a poison" (De Wette, op.cit., I, 417).
While Germany was drenched in blood, its people paralyzed with horror, the cry of the widow and wail of the orphan throughout the land, Luther then in his forty-second year was spending his honeymoon with Catherine von Bora, then twenty-six (married 13 June, 1525), a Bernardine nun who had abandoned her convent.
The menacing religious war, between the adherents of the "Gospel" and the fictitious Catholic League (15 May, Breslau), ostensibly formed to exterminate the Protestants, which with a suspicious precipitancy on the part of its leader, Landgrave Philip, had actually gone to a formal declaration of war (15 May, 1528), was fortunately averted.

 Military Theory of War, Warfare Theory, Principles of War, Military Strategy, Theories, Theorists   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Assuming that a nation at war has some rational objectives, the next question is: “Is the national military strategy tailored to meet the national political objectives?” What this question suggests is that there be a close correlation between the political ends of war and the military means employed to achieve those ends.
Of all theories on the art of war, the only reasonable one is that which, founded upon the study of military history, admits a certain number of regulating principles, but leaves to natural genius the greatest part in the general conduct of a war without trammeling it with exclusive rules.
In strategic war, a clash may well take place, but it is not always necessary, should normally be avoided, and is almost always a means to an end and not an end in itself.
