1-1947502

The war of Candia was the place of military confrontation of two different models, the Western and the Ottoman Empire, to rise up in the courts of Europe to 'Champ de Mars' of the continent.

A contemporary of these campaigns shows specific characteristics called the first 'war material,' which is a conflict fought far from the mainland of the two states in conflict. One might almost say that Candia was the first conflict of the modern age, but fought through the means of the seventeenth century. 16 color plates of uniforms and flags.
