Título: La teoría de una revolución militar: ¿Global, numerosa e interminable?

[EN] Abstract: The present article is trying to counter the discussion about a Military Revolution in Europe as a unique European event. It also tries to outline possible difficulties that might emerge by using the term itself. Therefore the authors ask, if the Military Revolution per se is global, unique, or even endless. Due to this several case studies are analyzed to finally present a more multi-causal theoretical approach for the term and its use.
