In 1494, there were five sovereign regional powers in Italy: Milan, Venice, Florence, the Papal States and Naples. In 1536, only one remained: Venice. These decades of conflict precipitated great anxiety among Western thinkers, and Italians responded to the fragmentation, forevermore, of Latin Christendom, the end of self-governance for Italians, and the beginning of the early modern era in a myriad of ways. They were always heavily influenced by the lived experience of warfare between large Christian armies on the peninsula.

All of this meant that prisoners were taken across the world, and prisoners of war were typically comprised of two classes: officers and other ranks.

As the Japanese swept across Asia in the early years of World War II, the retreating Allies looked for ways to keep up the fight.
