Wars fought roughly 1500 to 1774: the age of the Ottoman-Habsburg contest, the Spanish conquests in the Americas, and the English Civil War, ending just before the American Revolutionary War opens the Modern era. Belongs here: the Ottoman Empire against the Habsburg Monarchy, Royalists against Parliamentarians, Habsburg Spain against the Aztec Triple Alliance. Does not belong here: a war fought by a mass conscript or explicitly national army raised after 1774, which belongs to Modern.
