| Summary / Abstract (Note) | In Spain, the existence of industries devoted to the production of military equipment dates back to the thirteenth century. The success of the Spanish empire of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries can be explained, in part, by the early production of battleships, fire guns, gunpowder and explosives, artillery pieces, and swords. Some of the factories created during this period of history are still in operation today, although deeply transformed and integrated within larger and modern organizations. |
