| Spain: King Charles IV Military: Max Army: 300,000 Standing Army at 1791: Infantry: 100,000 Quality-------8/10 Cavalry: 10,000 Quality-------7/10 Cannon: 100 Cannon of Various caliber Quality-------7/10 Overall Quality: 8/10 Reasons: Under Charles IV, the army was left to stagnate when Spain�s financial troubles escalated. The army didn�t produce any new officers, did not try to modernize tactics or make any attempt to train it�s troops. Rampant corruption made this almost impossible. The Spanish troops were very unpredictable, making a courageous stand on minute then routing the next. However, in 1793, Spain employed British officers to train Spanish troops and they have bee showing signs of improvement albeit only the test of battle will see thier effectiveness. Navy: 8/10 The monarchy has been increasingly improving the Spanish fleet. Re-fitting aging ships and increase crew training has improved the Spanish fleet greatly from it's original state. However, there is still work to be done. Economy: 7/10 With the redistribution of aristocratic wealth and a crackdown on corruption, the Spanish economy shows signs of revival. |
