1 h 55 min, 25 août 1618 ans - Defenestration of Prague (1618)
Description:
Bohemians, in defence of their Protestant liberties, threw two emissaries from the Holy Roman Emperor, Matthias, out of a window and declared the Calvinist Palatine Elector, Frederick V, as their new king. This single act started the catastrophic Thirty Years War that ended up being one of the most devastating wars that Germany has ever seen. (Palmer 137)Ajouté au bande de temps:
