Thirty Years' War (23 mayo 1618 año – 15 mayo 1648 año)

Descripción:

The Thirty Years' War was a war fought primarily in Central Europe between 1618 and 1648. One of the most destructive conflicts in human history, casualties were overwhelmingly and disproportionately inhabitants of the Holy Roman Empire. Initially a war between various Protestant and Catholic states in the fragmented Holy Roman Empire, it gradually developed into a more general conflict involving most of the European great powers. The war altered the previous political order of Europe. The rise of Bourbon France, the curtailing of Habsburg ambition, and the ascendancy of Sweden as a great power created a new balance of power on the continent, with France emerging from the war strengthened and increasingly dominant in the latter part of the 17th Century. In the 19th Century, the war served as an example of the dangers of a divided Germany and became a key justification for the 1871 creation of the German Empire.
