My story will be less certain than history; but whoever wants to relive the past to study the similarities and analogies between human conflicts in the present is enough for me to find it useful. This War History of mine is a definite achievement and not an ostentatious work for a current audience

4 PROLOGUE
I was inspired to build this work by reading Arnold Toynbee's book, A Study of History, and Trevor N. Dupuy's Future Wars. Between 2005 and 2007 I acquired a collection of board wargames in New York, and reading the book Wargame Design
published by Strategy & Tactics Magazine consolidated a Matrix for A Study of Military History
. Thus, from 2008, I was able to begin an analysis of the wars, campaigns, and battles of history of a particular time and / or civilization described in the Smithsonian Institute's Atlas of Military History. So far I have published the following series: I. Historical Simulation of the First Empire Wars
in 2010; VIII. World War I Historical Simulation
in 2011; II. Historical Simulation of the Wars in Classical Greece
in 2012; III. Historical Simulation of the Roman Wars
in 2016; and IV. Historical Simulation of Wars in the Medieval Era
in 2018. In 2014, to continue my work "A Study of
Military History, I read the book
Japanese and
5
Chinese Chess - The Science and Art of War and added a new book
The Study of Wars and Chess Games to my planned study, associating the foundations of chess games with the principles of Art and Science of War. In each book of the work a selected war, campaign, or battle is studied at any of the applicable decision levels, namely the Political, Strategic, Operational, Tactical, and Technical. Based on a summary of the historical fact I seek to highlight the decisive fact (s) causing the negative result (s) before playing the simulation through a board wargame - the actions on the
other side of the hill (from the enemy) are studied through a parallel electronic wargame. In the simulation all the possibilities of the purpose of the study are completed when the past of history is analyzed on the basis of present theory and projected into the future or revived as a
what if schematic case. When we
play we will follow the maxim
WIN ALWAYS BUT WITH THE LOWEST
POSSIBLE COST".

8 CHAPTER 1
MEDIEVAL EMPIRES
For the reader who wants an introduction to the history of the Wargames and the historical period of the Art and Science of Wars in the Medieval Era, we recommend purchasing the first book in this Series.
Im 1: The initial landmark.
Middle Age is a period of history which in
relation to the theme of our Series IV of the History
9
of Wars - Historical Simulation of Wars in the Medieval Era -, we will consider occurred between the V and XV centuries; starting with the initial breakdown of the Western Roman Empire and ending with the fall of the Eastern (Byzantine) Roman Empire.
Im 2: The maximum Islamic expansion.
This periodization is more focused on Europe, but in our studies it will also cover influences, interactions with North Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia. Also to meet our goals we will consider a division of this Medieval Age into two major periods, the High Middle Ages and the Low Middle Ages, with the dividing landmark being the consolidation of the Germanic Kingdoms and the
Christian Crusades in the Middle East.
10
During the High Middle Ages, the processes of urban depopulation, ruralization, and immigrations of Germanic peoples began during Late Antiquity. These form kingdoms, building on the structure of the Western Roman Empire.
Im 3: Carolingian Empire.
In the 7th century, North Africa and the Middle East, which had been part of the Eastern Roman Empire, became Islamic (or Muslim) territories after their conquest by the successors of the Arab prophet Muhammad.
The Byzantine (or Eastern Roman) Empire survives and becomes a great power. In the West, although there have been significant changes in
political and social structures, the break with
11
antiquity has not been complete and most of the new kingdoms have incorporated as many pre- existing Roman institutions as possible.
Im 4: The world is not over yet.
Christianity spread throughout Western Europe and witnessed an upsurge in the building of monasteries as cultural bastions. During the 7th and 8th centuries, the Germanics Franks, ruled by the dynasty inaugurated by Charlemagne (Carolingian), established an empire that dominated much of Western Europe until the 9th century.
It will disintegrate (dividing) by internal quarrels and the onslaught of Germanic Vikings from Scandinavia, Hungarian Magyars from the steppes
of Asia, and Arabs (or Saracens) from Africa.
12
During the Low Middle Ages, which started around the year 1000, there is a very strong demographic growth in Europe and a revival of trade as innovations in agricultural techniques allow for higher crop productivity.
Im 5: Society in the Lower Middle Age.
It is during this period that the two social structures that will dominate Europe until the Renaissance (or the beginning of the Modern Age) begin and consolidate: Servility - or a social organization of peasants in villages that pay rent and render services on the lands of a nobleman; and Feudalism - or a political-social structure in which noblemen of lower status render military service to superiors, receiving compensation for
manorial property (for the exercise of servility) and
13
the right to collect taxes from burgs (cities) in a given territory.
Im 6: The Holy War.
The Crusades (or Holy War), first called by the Western Catholic Church in 1095, represent an attempt to regain control of the Holy Land (Jerusalem and its surroundings) from Muslims, having even established some Christian states in the Middle East.
Cultural life was dominated by Scholasticism, a philosophy of education that sought to unite faith with reason, and the founding of
