The Thirty Years War saw a change from âlittle warsâ to what was effectively total war. A nationâs economywas based around fighting in the war and sustaining that nationâs position within the Thirty Years War. Civilian populations were adversely affected in a way not seen before.
Marines, also known as a marine corps or naval infantry, are an infantry force that specializes in the support of naval and army operations at sea and on land, as well as the execution of their own operations.
In the majority of countries, the marine force is an integral part of the navy, but it can also be under the army like the Troupes de marine (French Marines) and Givati Brigade (Israeli Marines), or form an independent service branch like the United States Marine Corps and the Royal Marines (although the United States Marine Corps is under the United States Department of the Navy, and the Royal Marines come under Her Majesty's Naval Service).
