Nothing dependent on style.And you fail to mention that after France many nations (Austria, Spain,...) quickly adopted standing armies and that the Ottomans had a standing army even before them. As for why Britain was so late you just have to look at a map. Better ask when they started to have a standing navy.Also centuries before there were de facto standing armies in the form of militant orders.</blockquote>
