This episode of Ten Minute History (like a documentary, only shorter) covers the outbreak of the Bohemian Revolt which was what would eventually spiral out of control into the Thirty Years' War. The revolt was crushed fairly quickly but sparked intervention by Denmark, who didn't do too well, and later Sweden who did very well. Both of these were aided by France who decided to get directly involved in 1635. By 1648 the Holy Roman Empire lay in ruins, with Austria and Spain struggling to pay for the war and rebuild the Habsburg Empire. This war saw the rise of Sweden and France but most importantly saw the foundations of modern diplomacy built.
Recommended books:
Mark Greengrass - Christendom Destroyed: Europe 1517-1648. Does a great job of outlying the theological currents in Europe at the time and how all of the religious changes led to the Thirty Years' War.
Peter H. Wilson - Europe's Tragedy: A New History of the Thirty Years' War. The go-to text for the war; incredibly detailed and honestly can't be beat for the topic. 100% recommend.
That one time we literally threw a bunch of bureaucrats out of a window and caused 30 years of war all over the Europe
You, bohemians, should't have windows in meeting rooms (Or have meetings in high floor).
Or meetings
patrikcath sounds like that one time a teenager shot a prince and caused 4 years of war all over the world lol
This is the second time you throw someone out a window, and last time also started a war. I see a pattern here.
Btw they only lived bcs of convienent bushes below
Somehow, the 29 Years and 11 Months War doesn't sound quite as catchy.
Feature History?
...plus one long morning...
Yup feature history
Lol, exactly how old I am
Why wasn't it the 30 years war
Just annoyed myself when you said “Ferdinand III” and I immediately said Thirdinand and chuckled...
Lmao xD
You got a little chuckle out of me
600th like
My mind went to Thirdinand the Ferd, but I have to say I was rather pleased with myself.
Thirdinand III
8:35 "The Swedish laid siege to Prague". In modern times, that would sound like a very drunk tourist group
Sadly covid has prevented this
Specially if Swedes had us Finns with them like they had in first time as we were part of Sweden back then...
Austria and Sweden back then: "Time to reinforce our rule in our parts of Europe"
Austria (after WWII) and Sweden (after Napoleon): "we were bad, but now we're neutral"
@@sharkronical We were badass, but now we're neutral.
Not too far off from what actually went down. They went there and celebrated, got drunk as hell and looted half of the city
If only Ferdinand had more Imperial Authority he could have passed the reforms to disallow internal HRE wars
Then it wouldn't have been the HRE. What reasons would the princes have had to give that much power to one of them?

I absoluly love that you put Joakim Brodén from sabaton in the video
Well it's only appropriate if the Lion from the north is prominent
I had to play that part of the vid twice just to be sure. Great job Ten Minute History, always slipping in the quick little "wait, whaaaat?" moments. Part of why I subscribe.
I laughed so fucking hard at that xD

So that's who that was.
Loved the part when Sabaton's lead singer showed up at 4:09
What s the joke? What does sabaton have to do with the 30 y war?
Sabaton is Swedish, and their song "The Lion From The North" is about the topic immediately being discussed

A giant European War that didn't involve England. I am shocked.
Great Britain did officially get involved in the closing years of the war. However, a large number of Scottish noble sons and mercenaries fought on both sides (primarily on the protestant side as protestants themselves, but fighting for the Habsburgs meant more money) from the beginning of the war to it's end.
The English were carrying on a tax strike at the time so they weren't
able to fight a war.
When they finally went to war it was against each other.
derkaiser420
The English civil war had strong religious undertones. There was a great hatred of the wife of Charles I, who was catholic and people thought there was a conspiracy to make England catholic again.
Or Russia
Joella Z agreed when I read a book on Charles I I can see the civil war is very religious. But also about challenging absolutism in kings
I love the word "defenestration". We don't have that in Dutch, I believe. But on the other hand, we had the audacity to eat our prime minster in those days. Which is rather unconventional as well.
The Dutch have always hated waste, why just kill someone when you can also eat him?
_Defenestration_ was the word my college German professor used to introduce the German word for window, _Fenster._ I had personally heard neither word before. (This was in 1991.)
In German there's the word "Fenstersturz", a compound word from window and fall
@@mardasman428 Danke! Ich finde aber "Defenestration" etwas mehr "Classy".
We kunnen er 'ontvenstering' van maken. Maar volgens wikipedia is het defenestratie.

WAAAAGH!!!!
Cuius regio eius religio.
"miserable" is a very soft definition for what was life for civilians during the 30 years war. According to statistics, the percentage of civilian and military casualties in the HRE was bigger than the one nazi Germany suffered during WW2, just to put things in perspective.
It was a war like no one before, and although it didn't see much complex territorial changes or repentine fall of empires, can be seen as the beginning of what Europe will be for the following 300 years: the rise of France, Netherland, Sweden, the decline of Imperial Spain and the HRE, who finally abandoned the (super cool but ultimately impossible) idea of a unified Europe under Habsburg rule, much modern ideas regarding diplomacy, religious liberty and military warfare, and most important, it ended once and for all the so called Religious Wars in Europe.
More casualties in the HRE alone? Damn
Given the differences in medieval/modern warfare, that's brutal...
Not more casualties, higher percentage of casualties but still its brutal.
up to 8 million people died and germany saw a population decline of over 50%
The nazis actually didn't suffer that much in terms of civilian casualties during the war, so that's not actually a great comparison as I think under a million civilian casualties were suffered by the nazis since the war was primarily fought beyond its own borders (as well as roughly 5 million military casualties out of a population of over 80 million). Remember that to get to Russia, Germany first had to get through Poland and that Germany wasn't actually reached until early 1945, where they capitulated in less than 5 months. In comparison, the Germans were in Russia until late 1943 and into 1944 and in Poland until 1945.
The second world War was primarily destructive in the East where it was industrial warfare for many years. Roughly 45 million of the 70 million deaths of WW2 were in Russia and China. And then I think an extra 6 million or so died in Poland.
Bohemians had a clever way of countering that, by throwing his representatives out of a 3rd storey window. Lol
I think we did it like 3 or 4 times throughtout history( I am not sure cuz there was either 3 but only 2 are like called "defenestration of prague", or there is 4 and only 3 are like significant and named...)
Coz we in Bohemia have a saying: (If) You kick them throughout the door, they'll return through the window. This is a preventive action.
@@Wanys123 we can do it again
@@Wanys123 There have been a few local representative that knocked on my door I would have loved to thrown from a 3rd storey window. lol I bet its therapeutic :)
Don’t forget the St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre in France, which also saw people being thrown out of windows!
A time of religion and war. Legends tell the tale of a lion...
This beast in the shape of a man with a dream to rule sea and land
All those who stand in his way will die by god and victorious arms
With the righteous that follow him south, once more, set ashore, to war
Legends have taught, battles fought,
This lion has no fear at heart
Lion come forth, come from the north, come from the north.

Protestants actually killed thousands over thousands of women despite the propaganda against the Spanish. The inquisition outright ignored such claims as nonsense and even finned people for doing it.

Same here
@@Argentvs based?
@@katarina9064 History. Google it. The Spanish Inquisition gave a 2 weeks notice and dismissed almost all denounces. In fact it condemned more people for false accusations than else. Witchcraft were outright ignored and accusers were heavily fined.
Death sentences were appealed by calling the Inquisition, as people saw it more fair when the nobles in towns were unjust.
Also they made crimes go away simply by bribing the inquisitors.
They were more occupy in finding foreign spies and political plots, their main job was that, like a secret police.

I'm German and the thirty-year-war is quite a big topic in German schools. I had it as a topic for a half year and I can say that I learned equally, if not more about the thirty-year-war in this ten minute video than in school. Keep up the good work 👍
Are the schools in German nice?
As an American, this just sounds like public education lacks everywhere
@@arnaldoenriquez6191 tbf also most kids in middleschool just dont care too much about history with obscure european states that dont exist anymore. thats why many ppl tend to not remember much about stuff from middle school lessons i guess.
@@arnaldoenriquez6191 American schools are more concerned with nationalist indoctrination, perhaps that's why American minds are moslty immigrants.
@@PsychoMachTricks I don't know about the German schools themselves, but I've heard that the German education system does everything it can to prevent social mobility. So if you get bad grades at the age of 6, you won't get a second chance as an adult.
What is impressive with Sweden's military organisation during that time - the King himself dies on the battlefield - still the swedes just kept on winning battle after battle through the war and they were almost always outnumbered. Many great generals and impressive logistics right there.
Never play Swedish chess.
Look at Sweden now though.
@@MysticMelody333Life here's pretty sweet tbh. Don't know where you're from, but odds are living standards in Sweden are higher on average.
@@bluestone9726 as a Swede, we got a massive immigration problem but other then that yeah life is pretty good
Swede used a conscript system, instead of hiring mercenaries. With religious and solidarity pressure of the community, each soldier had to behave in battle. Also, harsher living conditions in Scandinavia made them tougher soldiers (like the Russians later).
I love you for the Sabaton references
GUSTAVUS ADOLPHUS GO FORTH
LIBERA IMPERA
AUGUSTA PER ANGUSTA
R/suddenlysabaton
Actually there is a song about that battle called "Gott Mit Uns" by Sabaton.
To be fair, Libera et impera as well as augusta per angusta were references by Sabaton also.
5:20 If you are to be picky, his horse, named Streiff, wasn’t actually killed but only wounded at the battle. He did however succumb to his wounds and died the next year. His body was stuffed and he is still on display at the Royal Armory in Stockholm.
Lots of region in the HRE lost around 60% to 80% of their population during this time and the death toll was massive for the time (although mainly from disease, way more than from actual combat or pillage).
Illness in war (specially old wars) was serious bussiness. I believe General disease was a major player in every war all the way up to the crimean war.
0:56 they supposedly landed in a pile of dung.
Or were carried by angels, depending on which side you ask.
👍👍🤞😁
The most likely reason is that the windows aren't particularly high
@Biracial Boy there are windows to that building and it's not that high
Protestant propaganda says it was a pile of dung
Catholic propaganda says it was angels
Or maybe they fell from a not-so particularly high building, carried by angels, then landed on a pile of dung?
No shit.
That no sultan poster in the background is highlight of the video.
Are you kidding me? the 0:40 is the highlight by far.
Still tho, that's a good close second.
Also Christian IV was an brilliant architect and terribly general. He managed to get the entire Danish army caught in a valley fighting not a two side battle, but a battle on three fronts all uphill...
He lost.
The Danish Monarchy from around that point and going forward another two hundred some years, had a lot of rough quirks.
Just to let everyone know, the sound is a bit off in parts because I've recently moved and have yet to set up a proper recording area. I think RUclips is rolling out the ability to edit the voice over for videos so I'll fix that when everything is sorted. I am also aware I butchered many of the pronunciations so if you could correct some for me to fix later that would be much appreciated.
The French Wars of Religion were my specialisation at University so I'd love to at some point.
Small mistake - 1:12
I think saxony was divided in 2 parts (A kingdom and an Electorate) at that time
I'm not 100% sure though
Nice sabaton reference.
Nikolay Tsankov: Saxony was divided - between an Electorate, and several duchies to the West of it (modern-day Thuringia). The territory highlighted in the map is the Electorate which became a kingdom only in the early 19th century under Napoleon's influence. At the time of the 30 Years War, Bohemia was the only kingdom in the HRE.
In "Osnabrück", the emphasis is on the "brück", not the "Osna", I live only a few kilometers away from there. Your pronunciation of the "ü" vowel is pretty good though.
Also could you make a video about all the massive geopolitical changes that happened after the end of WWII? I'l thinking from the Conference of Yalta, the founding of democratic as well as communist Germany and Japan, the establishment of the Eastern Bloc and NATO, to the Chinese Civil War, and of course importantly also the new international monetary orders with Breton Woods and such, and UN
i am happy to see the sabaton reference

One of my favorite movies is 'The Last Valley' (1971) from writer/director, James Clavell, who was also a bestselling historical novelist.
The film is the story about two very different men; Vogel, a wandering loner (Omar Sharif) and The Captain, leader of a band of mercenaries (Michael Caine) who both stumble upon a hidden valley untouched by the devastating Thirty Years' War around it.
Ten Minute History coming through in the clutch turning this mediocre Sunday into a tolerable one.

3:27 Sweden to Denmark: Let me show you how it´s done.
Amusing and substantially accurate summary, but I didn't notice anything about Bavarian involvement in the war, which complicated and arguably prolonged the war. Also, I think the peasant revolts in Austria are worth noting. And finally, emperor Matthias less appointed the fanatical Ferdinand as his successor than was effectively ousted by him.
Good point. I believe Tilly's army was substantially Bavarian.
The only question I have is what is to be done with Luxembourg? It seems they forgot about it

5:20 Hey, I remember reading that comment about the horse! Glad to see you followed through!
Gustav Adolphus re-invented warfare during that time period with his cannons and firepower improvements. Not to mention tactical genius.

WOW! You are GOOD! I read "The Thirty Years War (New York Review Books Classics)" by C. V. Wedgwood and it was a long slog for me! And confusing: So many Ferdinands and Fredericks that I couldn't keep track of who's who!
Ferdinand II, Holy Roman Emperor's slogan should have been MTHREGA (Make The Holy Roman Empire Great Again!)
From the book I read, the 30 Years War ended after all the original antagonists (like Ferdinand II) died and all the powers that be were too exhausted to continue. And the German states were a ruin of barren farms, dead bodies and starving people.
Ten minutes! You are REALLY good!
I also highly recommend Wilson's "Europe's Tragedy: A New History of the Thirty Years' War", the level of detail is remarkable.
When visiting Prague, stay clear of the windows
A lot of conflicts really spark from unexpected events, from meeting at the third floor, being late as a chauffeur, and even flunking out of Art School
Your illustration style is great! I love the humor you're able to add to an educational video. This is like the 10th video in a row I've watched.
Could you do a video on the decline of Poland lithuania?
Essentially Lithuania rose because the collapse of the Golden Horde left a shit ton of real estate. There power and influence decreased over time because they weren’t gobbling up land as fast as Muscovy. Eventually they were like fuck it and United with Poland. Then over time after kicking some German, Muscovite , and Turkish ass they got their ass handed to them by Sweden. Then they got gobbled up by Austria, Prussia, and Russia the end.
Great video! To sum up one of the most insane, complicated wars in history in 10 minutes in a way that is easy to understand and is enjoyable, too, is just amazing. Got to love the ghost horse and the the out the window bit, picture of the sultan crossed out, etc. Too darn funny! I love your videos. Just not enough of them. That's the only problem with them. Lol. Please keep the outstanding videos coming and God bless you, my friend!

Ok... how you managed to condense all of that into 10 mins is quite amazing. Learnt a lot as well!
@0:07 Map of HRe should include both Nederlands and Switzerland, they were still part of HRe officially until Peace of Westphalia.
B. Levin but in practice the Netherlands was not part of it... so its better to not included them
negative..HRE /Spain had no effective rule over Netherland provinces since...around 1595 i would say (1568 start of rebellion..many battles...but by 1600 only PERIPHERY battles (in "belgium" area).
The west phalia treaty, is only that a PAPER confirming the status, so that neither spain nor HRE can LAY CLAIM on Netherlands.
Compare American revolution, Indonesian independence, Soviet revolution; Vietnam, etc..
There is a difference between losing effective rule/control over a country and the moment of officially/legally confirming loss of rights/control over that country.
OMG Joakim of Sabaton as part of the Swedish army. 🤣🤣🤣
Incredible summary of an immense topic. Very well done!
"Enough with the witches" lmao
Please put more Sabaton reference in your videos...or easter eggs like that in general, love it.

i usually have to be at a certain level of drunk to wade into a youtube comment section to take that as you will, but as this is definitely more than the 10th time to date that i've watched this video i finally feel the need to say that your dead-pan discription of the "second defenestration of Prague" is a joke that i still laugh at almost 5 months later
