The Thirty Years' War is one of the most destructive conflicts in human history. Initially a war between various Protestant and Catholic states in the fragmented Holy Roman Empire, it gradually developed into a more general conflict involving most of the European great powers. This conflict became famous for sacks of sities and killing the people. For thirty years, the war claimed the lives of 3-9 million people.
This video will show the whole course of The Thirty Years' War on the map(every week).
Have a pleasant viewing!!

Resume of the war
Spain : *fight for catholiscism*
England : *fight for protestantism*
Ottoman Empire and Russia : *fight for wtf reason*
France : Bonjour
scotland and ireland: Hello there!
Ottoman and Russia fought because protestants saved enough mana to cast Summon Russia and Summon Ottoman at some point.
They also several times casted Summon Dracula, as we can see
Transolvania was a ottoman vassal which was protestant and usually get in trouble with catholics and ottomans have to step up to protect their vassals.
@@tycuygfyfyfh5498 Pretty sure Transylvania was primarily Orthodox at the time, and was pretty much only a vassal due to the fact that it was more beneficial to keep it out of the Ottoman bureaucracy and still reap the benefits of sapping the region of all that it was worth, and making sure they didn't build forts so they could roll in whenever they pleased.
Ottoman and Russian fought just for each other, that's kinda sweet
Christian War
Ottoman Empire:join the game
The separation of religion was in the interests of the Ottomans, so it supported the protestants.
Ottomans: Merhaba
war about catholics and protestants
Russia and Ottomans:looks fun
Obviously the forces of evil would favor the Protestant cause.
The Ottomans joined the Protestant side to shit on Austria I think, not out of any religious motivation.
Do you see that island of Catholics in Bohemia at 6:11? That's my hometown of Brno. There is a legend that after a long siege, the Swedish forces made a plan. If they don't surrender until noon, we'll fall back and find a better target. Some Bohemian spy heard it and because the city's supplies and ammo were nearly depleted, they rung the bells an hour before noon. The Swedes heard the bells and marched away. From that day, all the bells in Brno always ring at 11 am.
However it’s truly only a legend. In fact, around 500 soldiers with support of the citizens (most sources say 1.000 citizens participated in the defence) managed to defend the city against an army made of nearly 30.000 men for roughly 3 months.
@@David-du4xs yeah, I learned that when I visited Špilberk fortress last week. There is a beautiful painting of that battle, all the pikes and muskets..

@@WWSzar
Yes, a troubled time, when the Rurik dynasty died down and the power struggle was on, the Poles wanted to slip their ruler under this business. When the Romanovs came to power, Russia won all the wars before the Bolsheviks arrived.
In the battle of Klushinsky, the Poles were not 10 times smaller, but in 4-5, yes, the Polish cavalry won, crushing the infantry, nothing surprising.

Catholic League: You were the chosen one! It was said that you would destroy the Protestants, not join them!
France: *_STONKS_*
It's even funnier when you know that at the start of the war, France was (diplomatically) supporting the Hasburgs in their battle against a common enemy. And then Austria decided to benefit from this war to annex parts of Bohemia. The French, already annoyed by the very, very large power of the Hasburgs (who were in control of Austria and the Spanish Empire), decided to help the protestants, paying the Danes to fight, and then the Swedes (that's why you can see both joining the war against the Catholic league and invading Germany). Then, once freed of its internal trouble, France joined the battlefield and teamed up with Sweden to bring an end to this war.
By a single political move, Austria doomed itself and forever weakened both its royal dynasty and its religion!
Star wars reference
@@maloflory Sweden was pretty much knocked out of the war when they were all but completely destroyed at the Battle of Nordlingen.
The Spanish Tercios overcame the Swedes with ease,even with the so called new advancements from Adolphus LOL.
@@phillip_iv_planetking6354 Speak with facts, not nationalism, please.
Lets focus on Nordlingen.
The terico is not what won Nordlingen. The Spanish had almost 10 thousand more troops that the Swedish did at the battle, as well as had a better defensive position and favorable terrain. The Spanish had literally every single advantage compared to the Swedes, and pressed those.
Furthermore, the event that is considered to have lost the battle was a Swedish blunder, not a Spanish triumph. A cavalry brigade charged prematurely, leaving its gunners expose, and proceed to ignore orders and begin to hunt down the retreating forces. This led Horns unguarded gunners to be confused, and they began firing on the other horse, infantry, and gun regiments that had already moved forward or were closed to the Spanish lines. A majority of the Swedish casualties came from friendly fire and the Spanish attacking forces that were unable to distinguish friend and foe and were attacking said friend and foe, as well as a disorganized army that were all doing their own thing. Was the Spanish leadership wise to see these flaws and press their advantages? Yes. Was the Terico any of these advantages? No. Hell, most of the Spanish casualties were *because* the terico. The terico allowed the Swedish that weren't in complete chaos to fire and do way more casualties to the terico than the terico was able to do back. The terico was even considered by the Spanish leaders to be the weakest part of their forces, given how poorly they perform against the Swedish gun formations.
Now onto everything else you said.
Was the Swedish army destroyed? No. Was the Swedish army able to rebuild in months and rejoin the war? Yes. Destroying the Swedish army was useful, but they were fightinf an army of mercenaries and more modern soldiers. Sweden had been training more soldiers in the case that this happens, and could hire mercenaries incredibly easily. The losses Sweden suffered were replaceble, and it did nothing to actually impact the war. This is unlike Breitenfeld, in which the Imperials were unable to regain their lost momentum and only got their armies to a similar strength to that of Brietenfeld when combining with their allies, such as the Spanish or Austrians.
And your last point...
These were innovations. Id like to remind you that well before the end of the war Spain had adapted several of these into their own army, and wer on the cusp of dropping the terico completely and utterly. They spent the entirety of the early fighting against effectively rebellions, who they always outbumbered by a notable amount, and a sea war against England, their rebellions, Swedish, and Italian navies. Come the French phase, and you see Spain engaging in larger scale battles against France and look what happened. France, who used these innovations, pretty much destroyed the Spanish in any notaboe battle they fought in, with all of the exceptions pretty much *always* being because of similar circumstances as Nordlingen; loss of control over armies, fighting offensive battles outnumbered, and the Spanish always taking casualties because, from their generals own mouths, the inferiority of the Terico.
@@7777-z7p Please......
If the Swedes had kept the hilltop it would of ended in disaster for the Spanish-Imperial forces.
But,the Tercio not only retook the hill but fought back 15 attacks LOL.
Actually it was 8 thousands more not 10.
Had every advantage?
The Spanish had to retake a hilltop and they did it on their first try.....
The Swedish army was all but destroyed.
it took them two years to come back not 6 months LOL.
What innovations did the Tercio incorporate?
Even funnier,the Tercio was not fully replaced until the 1700's......
Well after the 80 year war LOL.
You truly know shit.
Spain developed Pike and shot because of the Italian wars moron.
The French were mopping the floor with them because of their dominance in heavy cavalry.
Large scale battles against France?
You do know Spain has defeated France many times and in many wars?
Hell,the Spanish even captured King Francis I in battle LOL.
Yes a unit able to take up to 60% casualty rate and not run is inferior......
Fact is even in Spain's worst it still out did the Swedes.

Either way the Russians attacked to take back Smolensk which they'd lost a few years earlier but Poland won and Sweden attacked to get Livonia which they succeeded in because we were occupied with the ottomans but I'm not sure why they attacked.

Nah it can’t be the wifi, cuz why else would Hitler try invading a country with poor wifi?!
An important side-effect of this war was that it forced peasants in middle Europe to switch from growing grain to cultivating potatoes, just to survive.
Armies could rush through, burning wheat, oat and rye fields, but they couldn't destroy potato fields easily. Plus, cavalry units, in particular, would avoid potato fields because their green tops are poisonous, being members of the deadly nightshade family of plants. (Only sweet potato greens are edible: they belong to a different plant family.)

Also, I was talking about Germany... you know... the one thta lost the war 100 years ago and 80 years ago...
Are you stupid. I know that. What I'm saying is that during the 30 years war Germany didn't existed. And why are you talking about the old Germany if it wasn't there in the video. Plus another historical error. During the treaty of Verdun in 843 A.D it doesn't created Germany. The purpose of this treaty was to split the Frankish empire of Charlemagne beetwen his grandsons. And it wasn't Germany yet. It was Louis the german's kingdom he was the son of a Frankish dynasty. There is a BIG FUCKING DIFFERENCE. ALSO CALLED EAST FRANCIA. Plus the people living there were German But German was just a ethnic group not a country. The people living in the holy Roman empire (pretending they were roman) were a German ethnic group
Spain has a great world empire

England and France: Excellent
Perfect resume of the Spanish Empire under Hagsburg dominance.
Even so, i still prefer them too the frenchies Borbons anyday.
Spain saw itself as the catholic Empire.
Fighting for an allied country, while also fighting protestants was not very controversial in Madrid.
When Spain joined the war, nobody knew the scale of the conflict, it looked like a very easy win for the Habsburgs.
Similarly a strong Habsburg ruled HRE was in the very interest of Spain, it would come handy in the case of war with France.
And that is the same reason why France, who whas fighting her own protestants, joined on the side of the other protestants, to keep the Habsburgs from dominating Europe.

Swedish forces in german states: "I'm bored, been raiding and fighting here for years, there's nothing to do."
Denmark 5:40 "Let me introduce myself"
Swedish forces in german states: "Yay, something to do! :D"
If I recall correctly, France didn't really care about the war, but saw it as a way to weaken the Hapsburgs, who controlled the HRE and Spain at that point. So France funded and supplied the war for several years, but didn't fight itself. Sweden was the main Protestant aggressor, and France funded them. Until the Swedish king died. That could have led to Sweden pulling out entirely due to moral, which would have led to a hapsburg victory, so France and Sweden switched roles with France directly fighting and Sweden supporting the effort financially.
Also, it was assumed that 40% of the overall German population died in this war.
More like the spanish king controlled the habsburg.
This move was perfect against spain
The best part was that Catholic France was funding the Protestant Sweden to fight the Catholic Habsburgs on behalf of the Protestant Germans in a religious war. Eventually Catholic France was fighting the Catholic Habsburgs on behalf of the Protestants in Germany while being funded by the Protestant Swedish.
It was kinda stupid.
@@LordofTheFallen France isnt known for its pro gamer move. It's always Révolution or war but you know ? We were 3 times more than Englan or Holland and as many and almost as powerfull as Habsburgs (because they had America's gold) so r/woof
Some German states even losed 2/3 of their entire population tho
The swedes and the frenchmen teaming up
like the good o'l days
France joining the Protestant cause despite being led by a Catholic bishop, Cardinal Richelieu, is one of my favorite diplomatic moves ever. It shows what statesmanship is. Richelieu rightfully understood that the real enemy of France were the Habsburg, not the Protestants, and at the end France was one of the few countries to benefit from the war. In the same time, Richelieu was harassing the French Protestants, the Huguenots, at home. Your enemy within can be your ally abroad because this is a false acknowledgment to believe that a nation must be at war against an ideology.
How were Richelieu and the king not excommunicated by the Pope? Up until then, the great risk of breaking Catholic unity was to be excommunicated, which had a profound spiritual impact in a world were religion provided many existential answers for the people. The prospect of dying while excommunicated was still terrifying, as it meant that Heaven was forever shut closed for that person. So being Catholic and a cardinal, how did Richelieu not fear that?
Alvaro Gomez Vivas Probably because if excommunicated they could create a protestant Church of France, in retaliation to the Pope, similar to the Church of England.
@@alvarogomezvivas7844 The pope was not stupid. There were 2 risk.
The first, Louis the 14th building a gallic church like in England.
The second, french troops came to Rome and bring back the pope in Avignon to keep him and "protect" him.
@@himlingpatrice fair enough. It nevertheless was a cynical decision, no doubt, and I think in other times it would have been inconceivable. But these were not the Middle Ages anymore, so I guess even though these were wars of religion, it was becoming accepted that religion wasn't everything. Plus France had already done similar moves in the past, such as allying themselves with the Ottomans against the Habsburgs , so I guess it did not come as such a huge surprise.
makes me vomit
Scotland, Ireland and France be like: "Switcheroo!"
France never change is politic (lead by Richelieu) : Fight the Protestant inside the Kingdom and fight the Habsburgs outside so if the Habsburgs fight with catholic France fight with Protestant its like a 17 century Cold War (France was surrounded by them with Spain and HRE)
And the ottoman muslims hate all chirstians but they joined protestant to later besiege vienna
The Ottomans and the Russians though they surrendered when an inch of homeland was taken
A third of entire German population died during this war,main reason of Germany’s being uniting late and being late in colonialism.
That was terrible...
@Good Boi Yeah, they have tons of natural resources anyway.
It was because of the HRE.
the catholic south got to recover faster than the protestant north.

The Thirty Years’ War is a very long and chaotic war, but in this animation is so much attention to detail👍
Self respect 100000000/10
Fun fact, France was ruled by a catholic cardinal (Cardinal Richelieu) and HE CHOSE to side with the protestants. A member of the catholic church, at the helm of one of the big powers, sided with the protestants in one of the most critical wars for Christianity, let that sink in.
france was not fighting against catholics, but habsburgs. cuz richelieu and bourbons were enemies of the habsburg dinasty, and france wanted to weak the habsburg supremacy in west europe. richelieu fought against protestants in france, specially against a sect known as the huguenots.
It's even more disturbing when you know that they are basically the only reason the initially under-powered protestant side won. The Danish and Swedish interventions were both initiated and paid for by France, and it's the French armies who relived the pressure on the Swedes that were starting to lose, and finally won the war despite fighting the Spanish too (who were, if I'm not mistaken, almost not involved, as they couldn't reach the battlefield and had to deal with the Dutch [see 80 years war]). Oh, and did I mention that France initially supported Austria in its fight?
Richelieu changed his mind when the already very powerful Hasburgs used this war to get control over the rich Bohemian lands. A single bad choice decided the fate of Austria, Spain, the Hasburgs, and Catholicism in Europe as a whole. Let that sink in.

I like how Transylvania kept occupying the same Habsburg land repeatedly without gaining anything at any point
They just loved joining anti-Habsburg alliances constantly, ha ha.
Ottomans were big, mate
The HRE is such a mess
Sweden pushed into Berlin and München, Britain and France pushed the west, Denmark just died
Impressive job mate !
Thank you for this video, a really great help to figure a very complexe war.
Bohemia in 1618 :

French was both...
French all the way
It would have been very ironic if, after helping the Protestants abroad, the Protestant countries would have helped the Huguenots take over power in France. Richelieu would surely have shot himself in the foot if that had been the case.
Huguenots were, tho dangerous, a minority. Catholicism had way too much influence in France for it to become a Protestant country.
Thats why Richelieu only joined the war when the Huguenots were mostly dealt with in France.
Besides one has to remember that the protestants were losing without France's support they would be fighting against the strongest land army in Europe after being devastated by decades of conflicts while France was relatively fresh with 20 million peop
I'm blown away. How do you not have more subs?
Thank you!!!
Imagine losing ur epic empire status just beacuse a funny chin dudes wanted to kill other dudes because they yeeted people from a window
Really love the animation, looks smooth and stunning, good job!
Thank you very much!!
Сolleague, it is your video about Thirty Year's War has motivated me to make the same. Thanks again!
@@CherepashkaShusha Hey, glad it did! And NP.
But when did Spain decline? The Spanish empire was the largest in Europe until 1759 (with territories in Italy), and the largest in the world until 1815, with territorial growth during the eighteenth century, and more prosperity than in the seventeenth century. Do you mean that Spain was not hegemonic in Europe after 150 years of war between 1500-1650, to save Catholicism, which today is the first religion in Europe in places like France, South Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, Italy? I remember that Napoleon's French empire lasted 15 years, everything destroyed, with Paris invaded and Napoleon a prisoner. Hitler's empire lasted 5 years of war, with Berlin occupied and Hitler dead, everything destroyed. Why is there no talk of the decline of France and Germany after attaining that power and losing everything? When have the British had an empire in Europe? All the Spanish kings died in their beds, they saved the Catholic religion, after invading all the capitals of Western Europe, and they still had a world empire until 1898, in the 5 continents. Sixth or seventh world power between 1825-1898, like France and the United Kingdom now.
Result, Spain decline: greatest world legacy ever made by an empire. The United Kingdom is spoken of as a power, even today, but they are pure decadence, after losing in 20 years of the 20th century, an empire that shrank 139 times its size, and France lost an empire in 20 years, which shrank 26 times.
Because France and the UK are still relevant on the world stage. Before looking at the “overseas” empire, what matters is the motherland. France shrank 26 times but had still the 4th highest gpd of the world in the 70-80’s. France and uk are both in relative decline today but it has very little to do with the loss of an empire, while for Spain everything happened at the same time.
@@sans_hw187 Spain began 200 years before the global expansion, Italy, Greece, North Africa, and then America. Before England and France had their first timber colony in America, in the 17th century, Spain had built 10 universities there and in Asia, and 700 cities, dominating Europe. It is logical that the Spanish empire ended earlier. 50 years before. In 1898, Spain was the sixth or seventh world power, in terms of GDP and army. Same as France and UK now. The British and French have imperial inertia, because they lost their empires later, in the 20th century. Since 1960, Spain has been closer to those countries every decade. In 1960, the United Kingdom (still with an extractive empire and 20 tax havens) had 7 times the GDP of Spain. France 5 times more. Spain had an international blockade after the civil war, 1939-1959. Even Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy received the Marshall plan. Spain only received Argentine beef. In 1975 Spain became the tenth largest industrial power in the world. In 1997 Spain had the seventh GDP in the world. In 2000, France and the United Kingdom had 3 times the GDP of Spain. In 2018, 2 times the GDP of Spain. 2050-60.
It is a global process, in which countries like China, Korea, Spain, Italy, Ireland, Brazil, Mexico advance and are equal to the most industrialized countries. Added to this is more economic influence and more modern armies. But in Europe we are all small, outside the European Union. Now the world is ruled by giant powers. But the United Kingdom and France, or Germany, still have some influence, for a couple more decades.
Sweden: it is time to take Prague
Prague: NO
Spain and England sings pace
Spain and united provinces sings pice
12 years later
Oh shit, hear we go again
What if one could sing the pice,
AND sign the peace!
LOL
Not a peace treaty, there was only a truce between Spain and the United Provinces so the war was still going on. In other words we ended up fighting two wars at the same time, one being country vs country an the other being religion vs religion.
Spain need to fight without honor again France, England and their minions if they want to win. They haven't honor in war and peace.
Weda Aesir yes i know but I don’t know how to say it in English because I am Spanish Xd
Muslim Ottomans and Orthodox Russians be like:
- bro, what is this war about?
- i don't know, can we join?
- *ok*
I made a map in Age of Civillizations 2 of the 30 years war and showed it to my teacher (we were seeing that period) and she really liked it :)
bro this is legit one of my favorite mapping videos by far, i learned so much more about the 30 years' war here than any of the other 20 minute videos talking about it. good job!
Protestants : fight against catholics
Catholics : fight against protestants
France : catholic but fight whoever can fight
This is why I love European wars
Killed a lot of people and mostly innocent people think about that kid,but yeah war games such a fun
@@serhatyigit1321 what.. are you serious?? Are there wars that kill people?? You must be kidding
@@Alkhalidi723 Its simple look to russian ukrainian war
Great job! It's very accurate, that's what I like 👍
It would by good idea to make animation with any country/force in other color, not only te aliances in blue and red, becouse sometimes some country was officialy in alliance, but they don't even fighted 😆
Thank you very much!! Oh, I had plans to add more colors... But in practice that caused confusion and some colors don't combined between themselves
It took over 100 years for German and Austrian cities to recover from this mess.
I like how France just eliminates the Jewish-Ottoman concoction "Protestants".
Católicos y aliados, otra forma de decir, España y aliados.
Спасибо большое Вам за действительно наглядное освещение такой непонятной, огромной, многосторонней войны! Вы, как всегда, на высоте! Мало кто из мапперов сейчас подписывает города на карте и все стороны конфликта. Лишь у Вас по-настоящему качественный контент!
Отдельная благодарность за музыкальное сопровождение!
Should Portugal be considered part of the Protestant side after 1640? They were fighting both sides (Spain and the Netherlands) so it makes sense they were included as a third party post 1640.
I believe they had a kind if agreement with the Dutch to stop hostilities for a while. So officialy the protestant side makes sense. Not that the Dutch (and Brazilians) cared for the agreement tho.
No Portugal was firmly catholic and had 0 intentions of helping the fake Christian’s

Thank you Kaiser from Silesia !
Silesia is Katholical country for ever !
1648.. for Poland-Lithuanian commonwealth it was just the beginning
Winner France
2:08 I'd like to learn more about the adventures of those soldiers travelling on their own from Germany, through Bohemia all the way to what I presume are their Romanian allies
This was army under the command of Protestant general, Ernst von Mansfeld
@@CherepashkaShusha If I'm correct isn't that the one that got defeated before help could arrive so it fled to Transylvania and Mansfeld died of disease among the way?
I must confess, I have read three lengthy books about the 30 Years War, and I'm still confused!
4:00 - 4:02 that's what I would call a dirty move (as always)
Yucky French politics
