Chapter 3 (Military Moderinzation)

As the title suggests, this chapter is going to explore the nature of how the European military (not to suggest there is just one) evolved since the French Revolution. My prompts explore the implications of what this means in the context of the larger European story. Pick 1 to discuss on the blog. And please make sure you read your peers remarks so you don't say the same things. Look forward to reading your responses by August 7th. Hope band camp and all of the other athletic programs that start in the Fall go well for everyone! MZ
