>what modern development caused the Cavalry's demise?

Actually, it was the Swiss pikemen of the 16th century that began the real fast downward spiral of cavalry. (Check out the Battle of Sterling Bridge in Braveheart for a refresher on this.) The Swiss ravaged the romantic French horsemen during this time, and they have had independence ever since. Neutrality is a misleading term for the Swiss, they’ll kill anyone.
