The Thirty Years' War. The Greatest Battles for Dominance in Medieval Europe. 1618—1648

The Thirty Years' War. The Greatest Battles for Dominance in Medieval Europe. 1618—1648

S.V. Wedgwood – the author of a number of works on 17th century Europe and one of the most famous and popular historians in Great Britain, presents a comprehensive chronicle of the Thirty Years' War with its main battles and... key participants. It vividly paints the Europe of 1618, torn by contradictions between Catholics and Protestants; the Bourbons and the Habsburgs; between empires, kingdoms, and countless small states. After angry Protestants threw three representatives of the Holy Roman Empire out of the windows of the royal castle in Prague, an uprising broke out, and the war began to inexorably spread from Bohemia across Europe, involving countries from Spain to Sweden in a nightmarish carousel of hunger, epidemics, and endless chaos.
