Gonzalo de cordoba is really one of the unsung great military geniuses. he is never mention with the likes of Hannibal and Alexander Great

[edit] First Standing Army??

"De Cordoba founded the first modern standing army and the near invincible Spanish infantry that dominated battlefields of Europe during 16th and first decades of 17th centuries."

Where does that come from? The French entered the Italian Wars with a standing army as well. Thats a question of definition. Also anyone who reads about the Italian Wars should come to realize that the battles were not won due to the superiority of a particular type of unit but by correct employment and coordination. Therefore that sentence should either be removed or corrected please. --Longbow 19:38, 7 April 2007
