Nicely done...
Kennedy doesn't have the detailed Bairoch economic comparisons earlier than 1750, but Table 1 in Rise and Fall is "Military Manpower, 1470-1660"...in 1470, Spain, France, and England are all in the 20,000 to 40,000 troops range. By 1590, its 200,000 Spanish, 80,000 France, and 30,000 English.
Quite the difference.
Best,
