Conclusion
The deterministic concept of a Military Revolution based upon technology has given way to models based more on a slow evolution on which technology plays a minor role to organization, command and control, logistics and in general non material improvements. The revolutionary nature of these changes were only visible after a long evolution that handed Europe a predominant place in World Warfare, a place that the Industrial Revolution would confirm.

Famous quotes containing the word conclusion:
“Girls who put out are tramps. Girls who don’t are ladies. This is, however, a rather archaic usage of the word. Should one of you boys happen upon a girl who doesn’t put out, do not jump to the conclusion that you have found a lady. What you have probably found is a lesbian.”
—Fran Lebowitz (b. 1951)
“Human affairs are so obscure and various that nothing can be clearly known. This was the sound conclusion of the Academic sceptics, who were the least surly of philosophers.”
—Desiderius Erasmus (1469–1536)
“So this
Is man; so—what better conclusion is there—
The day will not follow night, and the heart
Of man has a little dignity, but less patience
Than a wolf’s,”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
