"miserable" is a very soft definition for what was life for civilians during the 30 years war. According to statistics, the percentage of civilian and military casualties in the HRE was bigger than the one nazi Germany suffered during WW2, just to put things in perspective. It was a war like no one before, and although it didn't see much complex territorial changes or repentine fall of empires, can be seen as the beginning of what Europe will be for the following 300 years: the rise of France, Netherland, Sweden, the decline of Imperial Spain and the HRE, who finally abandoned the (super cool but ultimately impossible) idea of a unified Europe under Habsburg rule, much modern ideas regarding diplomacy, religious liberty and military warfare, and most important, it ended once and for all the so called Religious Wars in Europe.

The nazis actually didn't suffer that much in terms of civilian casualties during the war, so that's not actually a great comparison as I think under a million civilian casualties were suffered by the nazis since the war was primarily fought beyond its own borders (as well as roughly 5 million military casualties out of a population of over 80 million). Remember that to get to Russia, Germany first had to get through Poland and that Germany wasn't actually reached until early 1945, where they capitulated in less than 5 months. In comparison, the Germans were in Russia until late 1943 and into 1944 and in Poland until 1945. The second world War was primarily destructive in the East where it was industrial warfare for many years. Roughly 45 million of the 70 million deaths of WW2 were in Russia and China. And then I think an extra 6 million or so died in Poland.

Essentially Lithuania rose because the collapse of the Golden Horde left a shit ton of real estate. There power and influence decreased over time because they weren’t gobbling up land as fast as Muscovy. Eventually they were like fuck it and United with Poland. Then over time after kicking some German, Muscovite , and Turkish ass they got their ass handed to them by Sweden. Then they got gobbled up by Austria, Prussia, and Russia the end.

Gustav Adolphus re-invented warfare during that time period with his cannons and firepower improvements. Not to mention tactical genius.

Great video! To sum up one of the most insane, complicated wars in history in 10 minutes in a way that is easy to understand and is enjoyable, too, is just amazing. Got to love the ghost horse and the the out the window bit, picture of the sultan crossed out, etc. Too darn funny! I love your videos. Just not enough of them. That's the only problem with them. Lol. Please keep the outstanding videos coming and God bless you, my friend!

WOW! You are GOOD! I read "The Thirty Years War (New York Review Books Classics)" by C. V. Wedgwood and it was a long slog for me! And confusing: So many Ferdinands and Fredericks that I couldn't keep track of who's who! Ferdinand II, Holy Roman Emperor's slogan should have been MTHREGA (Make The Holy Roman Empire Great Again!) From the book I read, the 30 Years War ended after all the original antagonists (like Ferdinand II) died and all the powers that be were too exhausted to continue. And the German states were a ruin of barren farms, dead bodies and starving people. Ten minutes! You are REALLY good!

I missed the days when he made 10 minute videos. The format was more entertaining. I'm fine with him making shorter ones (not everything needed 10 minutes) but wish he made some from time to time.

negative..HRE /Spain had no effective rule over Netherland provinces since...around 1595 i would say (1568 start of rebellion..many battles...but by 1600 only PERIPHERY battles (in "belgium" area). The west phalia treaty, is only that a PAPER confirming the status, so that neither spain nor HRE can LAY CLAIM on Netherlands. Compare American revolution, Indonesian independence, Soviet revolution; Vietnam, etc.. There is a difference between losing effective rule/control over a country and the moment of officially/legally confirming loss of rights/control over that country.

I've read some accounts of the sufferings of the peasants during the war and it's heartrending and utterly horrific. Pretty much every army participated in oppressing the people just living in the lands, which were often done for celebration of victory or anger over defeat. It's nearly as bad as was the Soviets did when they invaded Eastern Europe and Germany at the end of WW2
