Join us as we delve into one of Europe's most impactful and complex conflicts - the Thirty Years' War (1618 - 1648). This video explores how what began as a religious dispute between Catholics and Protestants in the Holy Roman Empire escalated into a continent-wide struggle involving major powers and reshaping the political, cultural, and religious landscape of Europe.
At the end of the war, the Peace of Westphalia was signed. It laid the foundations of the modern system of international relations and solidified the form of territorial states as well as absolutist sovereignty. Until the days of the French Revolution, the Peace of Westphalia was considered to be the basis of the European state system.
