• So NOW the 30 YEARS' WAR

Me in School

• Catholics thrown out of window - starts 30 Years' War

Me when I get a job

• religious war? - 30 Years’ War - all conflicts difficult to untangle religion from politics

4 phases:

1. Bohemia - Similar to Netherlands (Dutch) revolt?? 
1. Both wanted independence, both wanted separation of politics and religion.
2. Difference = Netherlands won and Bohemia failed.
2. Danish - 
1. Wallenstein thinks more of self than actual Catholic movement - expresses division Catholic camp - religious war not so much about religion.  
3. Swedish - 
1. Adolphus - Death marks to entrance of French for Protestants
4. French - 
1. helped Protestant rather than Catholics - shows it is not religious war - political barrier greater than religious differences

• Why did 30 Years’ War end?? - 
• Low population, low resources, Germany ruined to satisfaction of France, exhaustion (LASTED 30 YEARS).

30 Years' War and then add 30 years

• Two Peaces: Same but different
• Peace of Augsbury (1555) - recognized Catholic and Lutheranism
• Peace of Westphalia - recognized Calvinism too

****NOT religious TOLERANCE****

• Peace of Westphalia - Why turning point for politics, society, and religion?
• Previously it had decisive winner, now not so clear, shaped geography of Europe.
• Self determination (like Woodrow Wilson w 14 points) for German princes - took power away from emperor
• Reduces role of Church in Europe politics (almost separation of church and states)
