Civil War, Carter is arrested by Union Colonel Powell, who seeks his help in fighting the Apache and insists that Carter owes it to his country. Carter refuses, stating that any debt was paid when he lost his family. Carter escapes from his cell but is pursued by Powell and his cavalry. After encountering a band of Apaches, Carter and the wounded Powell take refuge in a cave, which turns out to be the object of Carter's earlier search: the "Spider Cave of Gold". A mysterious priestly being, a Thern, appears in the cave at that moment, and surprised by Carter's presence, immediately attacks him with a knife; Carter kills him but accidentally activates the Thern's powerful medallion, and is unwittingly transported to the ruined and dying planet of Barsoom, later revealed to be Mars, hundreds of millions of years in the past. Due to Barsoom's low gravity and his own relatively high bone density, Carter is able to perform incredible jumps and feats of strength.

He is captured by the Tharks, a clan of four- armed Green Martians led by their "Jeddak" (chieftain), Tars Tarkas. Tars instructs his loyal follower Sola to watch over Carter, leading to her feeding him a liquid that enables him to understand the Martians' language. Elsewhere on Barsoom, the human Red Martian city of Helium, led by Thardos Mors, and the Walking City of Zodanga, led by the villainous Sab Than, have been at war for a thousand years. Sab Than, who wants to conquer all Barsoom, is armed with a special and highly destructive weapon given him by three Therns in the midst of a ship- to- ship close quarters combat, which the weapon ends by annihilating all the other participants. Than he proposes a cease- fire with Helium and an end to the war, sealed by marriage to Mors' daughter, the Princess of Helium Dejah Thoris. The unwilling Princess, disguised as a soldier, escapes in a Helium ship.

As Tarkas tries to get Carter to show off his jumping abilities, a Thark sentry spots a ship from Helium and another from Zodanga, and the Tharks scatter to hide. Carter races into action and leaps to save Dejah from falling. He kills some Zodangan soldiers and briefly fights with Than. Than's ship retreats and Carter is hailed by Tarkas as "Dotar Sojat" (roughly translatable as "My Right Arms"), for his strength and skill. Tarkas even grants him Dejah as part of the Thark spoils. Later, Carter, accompanied by Dejah, tries to find a way to get back to Earth, and stumbles upon a temple ruin sacred to the Tharks; Sola encounters them there and vainly tries to stop them from entering. They discover an inscription depicting a way to Earth in the sacred river of Iss, before Carter, Dejah, and Sola are caught by Tarkas' rivals Sarkoja and Tal Hajus.

The three are sentenced to death according to the Thark code, but are helped to escape by Tarkas, who reveals to Carter that Sola is his daughter. Hajus and Sarkoja find the prisoners gone, and the ambitious Hajus declares that Tarkas has betrayed them. Carter, Dejah, Sola, and Woola (a "Calot" - a large creature that resembles an amphibian and behaves like a loyal dog) embark on a quest to the end of the sacred river to find a way home for Carter. They discover clues to the "ninth ray", a means of accessing infinite energy and the key to understanding how the medallion works. They are attacked by the Green Martian Clan of Warhoon, who have been manipulated by Matai Shang, the leader of the Therns, to pursue them as part of Than's latest plan. After initially fleeing, Carter sends the others away and takes a stand, fighting the horde himself as atonement for being unable to save his own family.

Though defeating many Warhoon, Carter is ultimately overpowered; he is saved when Mors intervenes in a Helium ship. Than is also in the company; Mors says that Than had come alone and had organized the rescue party.

Dejah reluctantly agrees to marry Than and Carter is taken to Zodanga to be healed. Watch Only Lovers Left Alive Online Full Movie. Upon awakening, Carter is led to Dejah's room.

Dejah sends the servant girls away and gives Carter his medallion, telling him to return to Earth. As Dejah leaves with Than, Carter is met by Matai Shang, who takes Carter prisoner and walks him around Zodanga. In different Zodangan forms, Shang explains to Carter the Therns' purpose, how they manipulate the civilizations of various planets into self- destruction. He also reveals Than's secret plan to kill Dejah once he marries her and to destroy Helium and rule Barsoom, so completing the course the Therns have set for the planet.

Shang also reveals that he and the Therns had been doing this for millions of years, and implies that Earth is their next target. Carter escapes thanks to Woola, and he and Sola return to the Tharks to request their help. There, they discover Hajus has overthrown Tarkas.

Tarkas, Carter, and Sola are thrown into an arena to be killed by two enormous four- armed Great White Apes. Carter defeats them and then challenges and easily kills Hajus, so becoming Jeddak of the Tharks. Carter and his Thark army charge on Helium and defeat the Zodangan army in a huge battle, while Than is killed by Shang before revealing anything more about the Therns to Carter.

With the Therns' course they have set for Mars permanently foiled, Shang is forced to escape in the chaos of the battle and leave Mars forever. Dejah and Carter marry and he becomes Prince of Helium.

Professional Mercenaries And Cannon Made Medieval War Obsolete. As the medieval world gave way to the early modern around 1. European warfare was utterly transformed. Mounted knights and castles gave way to cannon, firearms, and enormously complex fortifications. The scale of war grew as well. Armies that had contained thousands of soldiers in the 1.

Conflicts between newly powerful dynasts like the Habsburgs of Spain and Austria, and the Valois of France turned into long, punishing wars of attrition. Historians call this set of changes the Military Revolution. As war got bigger, it got more expensive and more complex. New state bureaucracies were necessary to assess and collect the money to pay for it.

Financial industries developed to provide credit on a scale unimaginable in medieval Europe. The new dynastic states of Europe formed public- private partnerships with arms manufacturers and mercenary commanders to marshal the resources to fight these increasingly long and expensive wars. The new techniques of war required more expertise from soldiers. Since most states didn’t maintain large standing armies, that meant an international market in mercenaries grew and developed between 1.

The Swiss were the most famous of these, but there were Italians and especially Germans as well, the famous landsknechte. War was increasingly a profession even for non- nobles, and early modern mercenaries took their work seriously. The early modern battlefield was no place for amateurs. It took real expertise to man batteries of cannon. Firearms were easier to use than bows, but still took years of practice to use effectively.

Most of all, dense formations of pikemen—hedgehogs of thousands of men packed in shoulder to shoulder with 1. At the Battle of Novara in 1. The commander of that square, a French noble named Robert de la Marck, was pulled from under a pile of corpses with more than 4. Contemporaries had a term for this kind of fight: They called it “bad war.”Nobody without training and discipline was going to stand face to face in the bloody melee of an early modern battlefield, with shot and cannonballs flying everywhere. Mercenaries may have been greedy and unreliable, but they were the only ones with the technical expertise and the willingness to stand in and fight in this effective, proven fashion. The net effect of all this was a huge expansion of war’s impact on society. I’m Patrick Wyman, and Tides of History is my new history podcast.

You may remember my old show, The Fall of Rome. In Tides, I’m covering not only the fall of the Roman Empire, but also the rise of the modern world, with topics like the rise of the state, the Military Revolution, the beginnings of capitalism, and the Reformation. Think of Tides of History like a TV show that happens to have two seasons running simultaneously.
