@@phann860 I know I said this was the MOST comprehensive video about the Thirty Years' War-not that it’s the first one I’ve seen or understood. I actually read a lot about this war while studying architecture in college.
Hi am from Algeria Can i talk with you about some of your country and the education system In fact i just want a foreign find and som one to chat with If you want i can give you my telegram or something else so we can talk Thanks 😊
Where there are plains, he drew there and only there mountains (on the riverside). He switched up Bavaria flag with Palatinate flag and also never did a mention of a certain military superpower who were as a heathen tortured christians of both sides and was actively fighting Austria. I like the graphics really much, but from a history view there's a lot room for improvements.
The thirty years war was a disaster all round for Europe with these competing factions, I think it is what is happening in the Middle East since 2000, a lot of blood and misery until all factions are exhausted and some sanity occurs, but I won't hold my breath.
I think the death toll for Germany in proportion of the pop. is actually greater then WW1, it is often discarded but the 30 years war was incredibly brutal.
and a war raging up and down, back and forth throughout the whole country for thirty years. There is a very captivating (and funny/bizarre) German novel published in 1668 called "Abentheurliche Simplicissimus Teutsch" by Grimmelshausen. If you can get a modern English translation I can fully recommend it. I read it in German at the age of 12 and I loved it. I am mentioning my age not to brag about it but to illustrate that it is not a very difficult read but yet a super interesting adventure novel. playing out throughout the 30 years war.
Man, that is crazy just how much GA II turned the tide for a minute, Tilly was really wrecking the Protestants, and Wallenstein wasn't a slouch either.
What savage nonsense: Ottoman Turks and Moscovia were looming nearby ----and our European Christians kept strangling each other ! A Lithuanian was here.
OK, they defeated in all these battles but what were the actual death toll numbers I mean obviously most armies live to fight another day. Was there some type of parole system and amount of time you had to lay down your arms?
France was essentially the financial backer of the war for over 2/3 of the time it lasted. They came in as an active participant late after Sweden waned with the death of Gustavus Adolphus.
France, Brandenburg and Sweden were the winners. Sweden profited immensely from the war, not really losign any soldiers as they used german & scottish mercenaries, France defeated the enveloping austrian domain and basically bankrupted Castile which has not recovered even today. Spain however didn't exsit at the time, their land was ruled by Austrians. Most of the imperial army was italian & german. The French crushed the imperials at nordlingen, not the other way around.
@@bennyklabarpan7002 "Not really losing any soldiers" The Swedish lost many men in Nordlingen and French subsidies were key to Sweden rebuilding its army after that bad defeat. Most importantly, the French destroyed the Spanish Army of Flanders a decade later in Rocroi, which left the Habsburgs without their best fighting force. You're referring to the Second Battle of Nordlingen. The first was a Spanish Imperial victory over the Swedes and Protestants, basically a slaughter that convinced France to intervene and save the Protestants. A Spanish Imperial victory in the Thirty Years' War would have meant France being surrounded by a powerful Habsburg dominion, and France could not permit that to happen again, as it occurred during the horrible Wars of Religion. French victory saw the hegemony in Europe swing from the Spanish/Austrian Habsburgs to the French Bourbons. Yes, Sweden was on the winning side, but only with the Grace of France. Sweden peaked in power soon after, while France remained a great power for centuries.
@@ericarmstrong6540 Yes. French intervention is known as the beginning of the French Phase of the Thirty Years' War. French intervention was triggered by the Swedish defeat at Nordlingen, after which it looked like Catholic victory was likely.
@@EmisoraRadioPatio The swedish lead army in germany was german. Sweden lost resources that France gave them. It was a very profitable war for the elites in Sweden. The spaniards were not fighting in the thirty years war, they mostly relied on their italian subjects (Which were in fact subjects of the habsburgs). Spain was more of a piggy bank in the war, and italy was a piggy bank of spain. France status as a great power relied on the atrocities commited by the habsburgs, weakening germany to a point they never recovered from. Swedish power was shattered in the battle of fehrbellin in a war they joined to support France. Militarily Swedish power fell in 1710s/1740s/1790s depending on your view.
I am Swedish, and the 30's years war is important since it littrly started the Swedish dominance of nothern Europe until 1721 when Sweden lost the 21 years long war "the great nothern war". It's a big part of our history. Also west pomerania would remain to be swedish until 1814
it's a very strange and ignorant statement. Sweden had just crushed the polish empire and was one of the most important trade partners in europe, supplying most of the copper.
You know, Europe looks like a big family feud before ww2 end. Talking about ww2 a lot, but this stuff started mostly after Romes fall, or mainly the Frankish empire. Since then just one tribe kicking themselves in the teeth to dominate. And although not militarily, the Frankish empire now rules Europe, being Germany, France and Italy. Most things are centered around Germany, which makes sense since they are at the center of Europe. I do get a feeling, if the US did not take over as superpower, there would still be wars of which Germanic nation has the biggest sack. And yes Britain is also part of that family fight fest, and by degree the most successful germanic peoples.
I really wish that society would stop being religious at all. We fight over religions when they don't really matter. They are just fake stories that people tell, yet people are willing to die over them.
like the video for its historical correctness (as far as short YT clips can do this justice) but why is it so difficult for American narrators to get prominent historical names right - Richelieu or Wallenstein; both names should be easy to get right (and even come with voice files on Wikipedia) and yet this American butchered them completely. ☹that was disappointing.
I looked up how to pronounce Richelieu. The video gets it correct. As for Wallenstein, I guess he thought the W was pronounced as V in the native language. And "stein" is often pronounced either as "steen" or "st-eye-n" in English, so it is understandable that he would make that mistake.
I've seen several videos about the 30 Years War and this one is the most comprehensive and easy to understand of them all. Good job!
so comprehensive that the 30 years war actually started 50 years before that and just escalated into more after the first 50 years...
I don't know if I fully understand all the ramifications but Germany was ruined and depopulated during this period.

The 30 Years War in 30 Minutes. Well done 👍

from what i know, a third of the people within what now is Germany was killed in war, starvation and in plundering/pillaging
It was simply devastating from a human, capital and even culturally point. It threw Germany back a century compared to its neighbours.
Yes, Bohemia after wars Lost half of Its population.plague,Hunger after wars also helped
Imagine a war lasting basically most of your life. Wild.

Oh damn then the French? What a rollercoaster (real-time watching this)
Thank you for this video ❤❤
This is so well done. Epic.
France and Sweden worked surprisingly well together considering the time period.
The way you described the spread of Protestantism in Bohemia is both informative and fascinating. Well done!
You are so underrated!
Could you please do a video on the rise of the Timurid empire
Rudolf 2nd was a very interesting monarch
He resided in prague and was a patron of science, art and the occult. He was religously tolerant
Great video, clearly underrated
Well done! Your description of Protestantism's expansion in Bohemia was captivating and enlightening.
Pls do a video about Timur Lenk's attack on the Ottomans and the Ottoman interregnum
Love your content ❤❤❤
This apparently was much deadlier for Europe than both world wars, since up to 16 million people died from it.
Where is that portrait of Gustavus II Adolphus from? I have never seen it before.
I think this dude uses A.I. generated images for the leaders.
It’s ai on this occasion I’m afraid as the commentator above me said
This was a very “ I hate the Hasburgs” war. After this war, Spain began its very long period of decline.
Great video, thank you.
Очень круто, спасибо!!!
You deserve more recognition! Please consider covering the rise of the Plantagenets ❤❤❤❤
What savage nonsense: Ottoman Turks and Moscovia were looming nearby ----and our European Christians kept strangling each other ! A Lithuanian was here.
Ironically the constant warfare between Western Europeans made them much more formidable than the Ottomans or Russians in the long run.
Tilly was a super hero early on.....wow
The Poles actually were involved, they supported the Husites even tho they were Catholic
glad u made this video big W
Very fascinant 👏 🔥 👏 🔥 👏 🔥
Why is there never a date in this videos
Jan Hus was the prelude to the Reformation
OK, they defeated in all these battles but what were the actual death toll numbers I mean obviously most armies live to fight another day. Was there some type of parole system and amount of time you had to lay down your arms?
Im swedish and was in Germany and went to 3 castles all 3 of them had been invaded by Sweden🫡🫡

Europe: Sweden is a poor and backward kingdom

Religion and politics. Bad then, bad now.
Oh christ I'm about to go cross eyed aren't I
Refers to Hussites as protestants
So much warfare North and South, East and West. I quickly lost the plot !

Love the video ...except for the pronunciation
This video lacks important detail, pretty sloppy. But for a person without a general grasp of the historical events it can be slightly informative.

Protestants in the 15th century (2:00 mts)? I don’t think so!
France carried. Before they intervened the protestants where getting annihilated by Habsbourg.
TTS...
I always do TH-cam videos too. If you need help making TH-cam videos, you can tell me. Thank you.
Bad pronounciation of german names.
InChristianity u had to pay for sins and read in Latin.
It's the same way that many Muslims make people read the Koran in Arabic.
