Guilmartin Genre: Handbook Publisher: Cassell ISBN: 0304352632 Format: PDF Quality: Scanned pages Pages count: 226 Description: Medieval Europe was on a technological par with India and China, but within a century of the introduction of gunpowder Spanish ships had crossed the Atlantic. They discovered America. Galleons and galleys equipped with the first successful cannon came to dominate the seas. Some European countries became the first 'world powers'.
