jan 1, 1648 - Peace of Westphalia

Description:

"brought all hostilities within the Holy Roman Empire to an end"; treaty that ended the Thirty Years War; basically set the same terms as the Peace of Augsburg; Holy Roman Empire maintained its numerous political divisions, and the treaty ensured that the Emperor would remain an ineffectual force within German politics; reaffirmed the Augsburg formula of each prince deciding the religion of his own territory, although the new formula now recognized Calvinism
