What reading level is How Europe Armed for War 1871 1914 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
All the artillerists of Europe were, at this time, endeavouring to devise a quick-firing gun for use in the field, and a naval quick-firer to drive off the tiny torpedo-boat, a mosquito-craft too small and speedy for the larger gun to tackle with its slow and ponderous discharges.
Nordenfeldt had invented a machine gun in the late "70*8, " but this was too light a weapon, and then, a few years later, Hiram S. Maxim applied his breach mechanism to a Winchester rifle, and so produced his famous a...utomatic rifle gun. This he patented in England in 1884, and commenced manufacture in London with the aid of the Vickers family, who really controlled the Maxim Gun and Ammunition Co. Ltd. Hotchkiss, Palmkrantz, and other foreign makers were being successful with machine rifles, and then Nobel, the Chilworth firm, and others produced smokeless powder.
With this it was possible to accelerate the discharge, and not have the arc of fire hidden by rolling clouds of smoke. One of the great problems of aim was solved.
