Study Notes
The Thirty Years' War
- The Peace of Augsburg (1555) aimed to resolve religious differences in Germany, allowing for either Lutheran or Catholic churches, but excluding Calvinism.
- The Peace of Augsburg was short-lived due to suspicion and tension between Catholic and Lutheran princes, fueled by the spread of Calvinism.
- In 1608, Lutherans formed the Protestant Union, followed by the Catholic League in 1609, escalating tensions.
- The Thirty Years' War was triggered in 1618 when Bohemian Protestants revolted against the future Holy Roman Emperor, Ferdinand II, a Catholic and member of the Hapsburg family.
- The war can be divided into two phases: Hapsburg triumphs and Hapsburg defeats.
