Produktbeschreibung
The 18th century was characterised by far-reaching upheavals and disruptions. The corporate state lost its shape, and the guild-regulated labor markets dissolved. During this period, the “standing army” with its permanently armed soldiers was established. In the 1780s, soldiers were recruited through subsidy contracts in the new military labor markets and placed in the service of England and Holland to support their troops in their colonial wars in Africa and Asia. Michael Mann describes the daily lives of these soldiers, from recruitment, training, transport, and the few overseas deployments to weddings, family life, leisure, and death. In the 18th century, it was certainly desirable not only to join the military but also to volunteer for foreign service.
