Advances in military technology (i. e., the military revolution) led to new forms of warfare, including greater reliance on infantry, firearms, mobile cannon, and more elaborate fortifications, all financed by heavier taxation and requiring a larger bureaucracy. technology, tactics, and strategies tipped the balance of power toward states able to marshal sufficient resources for the new military environment.

what states were most successful in the period between the renaissance and the treaty of westphalia in "marshaling sufficient resources for the new military environment"? the great power states by 1650 included some smaller states including sweden and the netherlands. explain how gustavus adolphus can be used as an example of the advances in technology, tactics and strategies?

In  modern systems, a successful State is a territorial unit. As a territorial unit, its sovereignty extends over all the individuals and other things within its given territory.  "A State is sovereign or the supreme power, within its territory and that state  sovereignty extends to all the individuals in a given territory." by Dunleavy and O'leary.

Explanation: Some successful states were separately constituted with their own laws and  institutions but dependent, such as Southern Netherlands and various states in Italy and around the Baltic. Gustavus had been a keen student of both the ancient discourses on military  tactics, and how/why they were used. He incorporated many of these neo-classic “innovations” into his army. Gustavus’ army thus  became more linear, more flexible and more maneuverable.

by taking care of gregor, grete has become stronger and more confident. she has found a life outside of the house, and has become more independent and self-sufficient. the novel implies that the trigger for the change is gregor's own transformation, and that without it, grete was likely to remain as shy and immature as she was at the beginning of the book.

teacher smiles at the students who wait for his signal to sit down. he nods briefly and the students sit down and get ready for the lesson to start. there is an air of quiet expectancy when teacher refers to the unusual things found underneath their houses that morning. whispers of bags of rice ran among the students and a student muttered reluctantly that the rice is rent for the landlord. this starts off the discussion on the issue of paying rent for the use of the landowner’s land. da wan raises the question of why the landlord owns the land rather than the farmer although they have spent a lot of time farming it. the three reasons of labour, need and inheritance are listed as reasons for the landlord’s ownership of the land. they are discussed and dismissed as inadequate reasons. they suggested a system of collective farming to the farmers. the headmaster comes down the corridor to observe the lesson. teacher very quickly changed the lesson to a geography wesson. the students followed his cue and no one gave the slightest notice < of the headmaster ‘s presence. when the headmaster leaves, teacher explains the implications of winning the scholarship. it involves bearing respontsibilities and the scholarship holder should master what is useful and return to the village. he should understand the injustices in the present system and change it to a fairer system. then, he announces the wiimnuir of the scholarship to be dawan.
