1 nov 1633 anni - Thirty Years’ War (1618-1648)
Descrizione:
Hapsburg Emperors + Catholic Princes vs. Evangelical Union (Protestant)+ Sultan Osman II (Ottoman)
The Thirty Years war begins in
1618 in the Holy Roman Empire but soon spreads to include all of
Western Europe except for Great Britain, Scotland and Ireland. Even
Sultan Osman II of the Ottoman Empire became involved, giving support
to the Protestants and fighting against the Catholics at certain points
during the war. By 1627, The Hapsburg Emperor Ferdinand II had
outlawed all forms of Protestantism within his Empire. This war finally
ends with the signing of the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648. The power of
both the pope and the emperor are dramatically reduced by the conclusion
of this war. In some parts of Europe, up to two-thirds of the population
died during the war. Over seven million Europeans are killed by the time
this war is over. Disease in Europe including plague is also rampant
during the war years. Fifty percent of all men in the Holy Roman Empire
have died by the time this war ends. The Thirty Years’ War ultimately
leads to end of feudal system in much of Europe. The old feudal order is
replaced by “sovereign” nation-states. The emperor and pope lost most of
their political authority
