The Hussite Wars, also called the Bohemian Wars, involve the military actions against and amongst the followers of Jan Hus in Bohemia in the period 1420 to circa 1434.
The Hussite Wars are arguably the first European war in which hand-held gunpowder weapons such as muskets make a decisive contribution.
The Hussite warriors are basically infantry, and their many defeats of larger armies with heavily armored knights helps effect the infantry revolution.
