Abstract
Four authors of XV central century (Nicholas of Cusa, Juan de Segovia, the humanist Eneas Silvio Piccolomini –pope Pio II– and the Bohemian King George Podiebrad) and another of the beginning of Modern Age (Erasmus of Rotterdam) show correctly the occidental reaction face to the Ottoman pressure, from the fall of Constantinople (1453) to the Hungarian defeat in Mohacs (1526). They consider two ways to solve the problem: the religious dialogue that leads Turkeys to convert to Christianism and then make legitimate their conquest, for example, the short work of Nicholas of Cusa De pace fidei , and partially the Epistula ad Mahumetem of Pius II), and the foundation of a great alliance of Christian princes: vg. the paneuropean project of George Podiebrad, inspired by the old idea of crusade.

La globalización en todos los terrenos y la esterilidad, cuando no el espíritu suicida de los enfrentamientos entre imperialismos, han abocado a una superación parcial de ese esquema.[126] Tras el brutal desgaste causado por la Segunda Guerra Mundial, los estados europeos dejaron de ser cabezas de imperios coloniales y se empeñaron en otro proyecto, de muy distinta naturaleza, cuyo punto de arranque fue el Tratado de Roma de 1957 fundador de la Comunidad Económica Europea que, andando el tiempo, derivaría en la actual Unión Europea
Summary
Una época considerada estructuralmente violenta como la Edad Media parece terreno propicio para el estudio de la guerra; uno de los fenómenos sociales más importantes en el devenir de la Historia en razón de su incidencia política, demográfica, psicológica, moral, literaria etc.
