  3. Thirty Years War

  4. Thirty Years War

  5. Thirty Years War

  6. “Defenestration of Prague”

  7. Thirty Years War • The HREmperor at this point...Ferdinand III...is Catholic • Hence...in Bohemia...we have a Protestant rebellion against a Catholic Majority • Spain supportsFerdinand. • Bavaria is behind the Catholics... • You will actually have a Lutherans against the Calvinists • Most of this fight will center on gaining territory, not necessarily Religious Conversion.

  8. Thirty Years War: Bohemian Period

  9. Thirty Years War: Danish Period • We see a dangerous swing as Catholicism re-energizes the HREmpire • This draws Protestant help from Denmark... • But they are pushed back by the success of Maximillien... • Remember Ferdinand III...Holy Roman Emperor...ardent Catholic? • He uses the Mercenary Albrecht of Wallenstein to crush Denmark...

  10. Thirty Years War: Key Moment...

  11. Thirty Years War: Swedish Period • Gustavus Adolphus – Lutheran Leader takes up the cause... • Supported by French Cardinal Richelieu (Remember...anything Pro-French = Anti-Hapsburg = Spain) • Supported by the Dutch (Remember the Spanish Campaigns in the Netherlands?)

  12. Thirty Years War • Remember Wallenstein? • He was the one, the mercenary, who fought for the Catholics... • Very successful... • Ferdinand (Catholic HRE) has him assassinated!!! • Why? Wallenstein was looking out for his own interests • And, this shows you Ferdinand was focused not exactly on Religious issues.

  13. Thirty Years War: Treaty of Westphalia • Rescinds Edict of Restitution • Re-asserts the Peace of Augsburg • Calvinism is made legal • Swiss Confederacy and United Provinces of the Netherlands are now Independent (both Protestant) • France and Spain finally stop their fighting by 1559 • Long-Term Impact???

  14. Thirty Years War: Looking Ahead • These German state remain fragmented. • Central Europe will not have any real “states” for centuries later... • While, in more Western Europe, centralized nation States like France and England will dominate the landscape for Centuries.
