Please, understand that inflation is more than this. The elite had the silver, but they also experienced the inflation caused by the massive influx of silver. Many nations (By nations I mean royal families) experienced bankruptcies during this time because of the fact that they had to use more silver to pay soldiers, and not just that they also had even more soldiers to pay than before. This is when the monarchies became weak because they too lacked money, they literally had to go to debt just to continue their extravagant lifestyle because they had to keep their prestige at the same time to show their nobles and rivals that they still had power. Remeber that the royalty of the time were not usually as rich as many people think. They were almost always in debt after the 16th century due to the larger armies and navies they had to maintain and due to the inflation brought by the sudden influx of precious metals and gems.

"Unlike the Hundred Years War, the Thirty Years War did last for 30 years." While John isn't wrong, it is worth noting that, because of the international character of the Thirty Years War, that statement is only true when talking about the German states of the Holy Roman Empire. The war also included the Spanish and the Dutch fighting in the Eighty Years War, the Polish-Swedish War, and others beside. Seriously, the history of the Thirty Years War is a cluster**** of epic proportions.

Man, this topic (Crisis of the 17th Century) requires more than a crash course considering the multitudes of violent deadly events causing human suffering on an epic scale globally. Issues like the Witch hunts which peaked during this time. Issues like 41% of the population of Ireland being wiped out, the English civil wars, French civil wars (which the great general Viscount Turenne fought in), the Great Northern War, the slow collapse of the Polish Lithuanian Commonwealth. Also aside from Western Europe, China was utterly devastated by the 4 decade long transition from Han Ming rule to Manchu Qing rule, such that over 25 million people died, 3 times the casualties of the Thirty years war. Regions like Henan lost 7/10 of their entire population to disease, drought and violence. Heck even in Africa, there was a Mauritanian Thirty Years war between the Arabs and Berbers. Truly one of the most interesting times to learn about.

It sounds silly, but the First Defenestration Of Prague brought on the Hussite wars, which were between Catholics and Protestants in the 1500s, and they featured the first use of mobile artillery (wagons with cannons mounted on them), the early models of Pike&Shot, pikes, in general, proved their worth on the battlegrounds of the Hussite wars, so it is kind of a big difference. It's kind of like the First and Second world wars - the first invented all the stuff and yes was a big deal everywhere but it was just a bunch of "local" wars, then the second turned out to be far bigger, and improved on and used the inventions of the first one.

Hey John, thanks for explaining this century for me - it really helps. I still am not convinced the "Wars of Religion" were about religion. It seems that political ambitions were at the root of the 30 years war, and religious difference was simply used to permit the violence which would have been censured without it. As with France, eventually they didn't need to bother to pretend the war was for religious reasons. I also think the whole 'taking land away from people for the Catholic church' doesn't tell the whole story: these monasteries were violently occupied by rulers using the protestant reformation to do openly what they had been trying to do on the sly always: steal wealth that was given for religious reasons so that they could use it for worldly reasons, like war. That's my view.

0:21 DO we, though, John? Do we humans REALLY learn from our past mistakes? It certainly doesn't look that way. 3:33 Yeah. 5:55 Again; Yeah.

It’s Pieter Brueghel, The Hunters in the Snow. It’s in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna :)

Every time I read my sources on the Bohemian nobility, it crackes me up. With such ease they'd utter phrases like 'have these gentlemen wander off the windows' and 'let the angels catch the true in faith'...

Eh, I was looking forward to this episode since there was a small chance my hometown was going to be mentioned in it but sadly that didn't work out. Anyway, greeting from Münster.

I'd love it if you could do a video about The Flavians, the fall of the second temple, and Bar Kockbah revolts, and whether we can trust the accounts of Josephus. And if it's not too controversial for your channel, I'd like to see your scholarly breakdown of the Serapis timeline.

Thank you. I love your content. I traveled round Europe years ago and wanted to learn the history of this region. But for me, It's difficult to me to learn complex history in Europe. So many wars, kings, kingdoms and all. This channel helps me to understand what was going on. I can't wait to dig into more and more stories.

Interesting note to end on. It makes me think about the saying that "necessity is the mother of invention." Does prosperity encourage some complacency? Have big shifts in thought that challenged orthodoxy and revolutionized our lifestyles taken place in times of prosperity?

Up until the Peace of Westphalia part, I had no idea this video was the same thing that my college class spent a semester talking about. The video wass significantly better and cheaper
