The Thirty Years' War: Every Day (Pt 1)

By the turn of the 17th Century, widespread resentment existed between the majority Protestant population of Bohemia, and its Catholic Habsburg rulers residing in Austria. Tensions boiled over in 1618, when several Catholic ministers from Vienna were thrown from the palace windows in Prague. A symbolic display of defiance, these events quickly descended into a full-blown revolt in Bohemia.

A lot of you have been requesting I remake the Thirty Years' War video, so I've decided to do a four-part series. Enjoy!

[@PM1871]

Interesting decision to break it up into parts. I know this will be good!

[@AuthorMT0]

ollie can you make more middle eastern wars from the period 1-1800 AC

[@PM1871]

Also, by the way, how big is the map you are using (pixel by pixel, since I know you convert the .svg's to .png.'s)?

[@OllieBye]

@@PM1871 The .svg canvas is 744 x 1053 pixels, and the converted .pngs are 2300 x 1760. Let me know if you need more help with this.

[@squashgoogolplex9392]

Ollie, this is absolutely amazing! Stunning work on the visuals, and great job on those animations. Your videos just keep on getting better and better.

[@avantelvsitania3359]

So, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth saved Vienna from being taken not one, but two times? Amazing!

[@zoldy7548]

And then they were betrayed by the people ruling from vienna anyway

[@simonthelen2141]

[@eyuin5716]

The level of detail in the visuals is so pleasing to the eyes.

[@adityaraman8901]

Why have you stopped commenting on the EC videos?

[@salmanahmadabbasi6791]

I like this new way of merging cartography with history. Best depiction of the war on internet so far. 💓

[@Carpelyn]

Wait a minute, Ollie Bye Buda and Pest were two separate cities until 1873, when the two cities (and Óbuda) officially merged. From that time on, the united city is officially called Budapest (before that Pest-Buda or rarely Buda-Pest was the common and unofficial Hungarian name of the two cities in the Hungarian Reform Era). And after the Turkish occupation, the territory under the control of the Habsburg House was called Royal Hungary (later invented by historians). Of course, this was not to criticize the video. Great job! :)

[@alain2898]

This was amazing! I was amazed that you were even able to show army movement. This is one of the best mapping video of all time.

[@thesebastanian567]

The level of detail you have put into this video with all the new features are absolutely brilliant! you should use this style more

[@evoluxman9935]

People like you are taking mapping to a whole new level. Amazing work!

[@neutrivictoire.1833]

Thrown out of the palace window? Do you mean *DEFENESTRATE?*

[@bejoysen4468]

I really like how much detail you went into here. Hope to see this style in future videos!

[@chandlerwood9697]

Jesus Christ, as soon as I heard the intro music I knew this was going to be a work of art. Nice job good sir 👌

[@AceticTWO]

Bro your videos are unbelievably perfect. I love you

[@blackjesus9641]

Fun fact: von Wallenstein wasn't actually called that. German poet Friedrich Schiller started the trend of calling him that in his 1799 play titled Wallenstein. In German, his family is called Waldstein.

[@vladimirbrabec69]

Actually in Czech republic we call him Albrecht z Valdštejna (Albrecht von Waldstein) until today.

[@blackjesus9641]

@@vladimirbrabec69 Yes, that's his Czech name. I was just referring to him in the German context because Wallenstein is the colloquial German name. The family still exists today! The one I know is Waldstein-Wartenberg I think.

[@user-wb7ur4yp6z]

StrangeForces great news for Germany!!

[@NovemberTheHacker]

Throwing people out of a window is no big deal, huh?

[@12tanuha21]

Habsburg: Bohemia is our Czech: We choose our king ourself. It will be the elector prince of palatinate, not a Habsburger Habsburg: This mean war

[@anthonyaurel6001]

@@NovemberTheHacker Apparently if Czechs throw people out of a window it is especially big deal!

[@apollomars1678]

the Czechs did that once by the actions of the habsburger against hussits 1419. the nobles of that time did the window throwing 1618 based on the windowthrowing by husseits 1419 because the habsburger of that time didnt cared once again about the religious rights of the czechs granted by the last emperor even by paper. in some sense the whole bohemian-habsburg conflict was the second husseit-war, while the catholic liga and the protestantic liga and later the swedish troops made it to bigger conflicts.

[@destroyer2496]

Man! This way of presenting the war is so cool! Not even we get to see the occupation, but we also see the exact military situation. The only thing I dislike is the constant pop-ups that distract me although they give information, I suggest you seperate them from the main map

[@genericyoutubeaccount579]

i like the popups. i use the hotkey k to pause the video everytime one comes up.

[@Flutterzancelight]

How you can make that thing ? It's nearly impossible you detail all battles in that timelapse, do you search on history book or internet for getting that informations ? It's really the most accurate historical video I ever seen Sorry if my english is quite bad.

[@matthewschad6649]

I loved the inclusion of army strength bars in the video.

[@dorifero]

Thank you for this video. Great. Can you recomend me bibliography about this war? I don't find any book in English about the war day by day. I have found great handbooks and speciallizated books, but not with a description day by day. I am mainly interested in the Bohemian Rebellion. Thanks.

This is absolutely stunning! I hope i can become the same as you (Sorry for the late comment and my activeness)

That was the worst war on German soil. More than 1/3 of all civilians died as a result of the war. Considering how small humankind was at the time, more people were dying relative to the population than in WW1 or WW2. The village I came from was completely wiped out in the 30-year war and later repopulated. And humanity just does not learn anything from it. War after war after war. :-(

[@leopoldivesic4872]

[@theblobber4461]

The Ottoman Sultan arrived in Prague? Is there a source?

I like that you show the armies. Most videos just show border changes which doesn't make sense some times, because viewer has no grasp of power and actual participation of local population.

[@teaMoW]

I love the mention of my hometown Stadtlohn at the end. On August 6th, 1623 General Tilly caught up with Christian von Braunschweig, who tried to retreat to the Netherlands at the time. Problem was he only had a single bridge crossing our local river and his army got stuck and slaughtered. It's still well remembered in local history.
