The Thirty Years' War

[BayAreaOrBust]

Oneof the bloodiest and most effective wars in history; Christianity was forever changed in Europe and the world after this.

[TheCrazyhorse36]

This was one of the most important and least taught events, in world history. Most schools just glaze over it, if its even mentioned at all. 

[DiabloDF85]

"It lasted from 1618 to 1648, and it mostly involved Germany, but the Holy Roman Empire, and many more countries in Europe were involved as well... "

I stopped watching right there. oO

[kingtoad53]

Oversimplified, but basic and adequate. C.V. Wedgwood's _The Thirty Years War_, originally published in 1938, is still the standard text in English of the history of the Thirty Years' War. Being descended from German and Danish Lutherans, this protracted conflict has always fascinated me.

Thank you soo sooo much, I can't be fucked to read my textbook..:)

[darthvadersith514]

the swedish army was the best fighting force during the entire 30 years war

[MrThundermouth]

@Krauten2 Damn right son, my little Sweden saved France and Germany. Without us USA would all have been catholics, believe me....

[fx2py]

"because of this, religion became less important"

How true, thanks to the Protestant Revolt beginning in 1517 which gave rise to the Masonic Revolt from Protestant England in 1717 which gave rise to socialism & the Communist Revolt in 1917. That led to the disunity, dechristianization & secularization of the West.

We also have modern capitalism which began with the looting of Catholic Church property by Protestants, combined with Jewish-inspired usury banking condemned by the Catholic Church.

nice vid but the pictures mostly wrong

[FuckFaschists]

BLODY SATAN EMPIRE IS THAT... FUCK VATIKAN !!!!!!

[EnemyOfTheSystem]

And europe looked very different during the 17th century... 

[EnemyOfTheSystem]

You mixed something up! You said that Germany And the Holy Roman Empire was involved in the war. But Germany WAS that Holy Roman Empire (full name: Holy Roman Empire Of German Nations/ Heiliges Römisches Reich Deutscher Nation) in those days, also known as the "First Reich". The line of Emperors, so called "Kaiser" runs from Caesar to german Kings- The pope crowned them to emperors of a new roman empire because the german kingdoms became very important during the middle ages and possessed italy

[truthhitmanisback]

In 1648 after the THIRTY YEARS WAR Canibalism was openly practised in Germany. Children , nuns, and old people , were caught and eaten. Fact. You will find it in Hertz' - RACE AND CIVILISATION, Page 56

[anthonyx860]

yes, we know most of the pictures of the documentary are far off, but we were on a time crunch, and the audio was the main focus. pictures just made it visually interesting :P

[scholion]

The bottom line is this:

Rome will never again have a say on how we Northern Europeans do trade, tax ourselves or elect our governments.

Self rule is a holy right and Jesus Christ would have approved of it.

We won the battle, we treated our adversaries in a forgiving and noble manner.

There should be union, trade, trade and brotherhood.

We have such a continent to build.

Skål!

[StSimonMartyr]

Self Rule?

You NOW have Secular Jew run Governments, all of your nations are bankrupt per them.

Fiat Fractional reserve worthless debt IOU's.

Abortion, Communism, Feminsm all became part of the Protestant governments.

You should be proud of murdering millions of Babies.

DR BERNARD NATHANSON of NARAL, wrote in CONFESSIONS OF AN X ABORTIONIST, how Jews Allied with Protestants against the PRO LIFE Catholics to pass Roe V Wade in 1973.

Blood of babies is on your hands.

[GloriousReturns]

@scholion Oh God...  0-:

[GloriousReturns]

@scholion Also, while scheming, greedy, protestants were carving up the Empire, the Austrians, the Poles the Knights of Malta (and other Catholic powers) were the ONLY powers holding back the Turks. The northern Germans, Danes, etc., might be praying to Mecca today if the Catholics had not held back Suleiman the Magnificent and Kara Mustapha.

[wallhackergotdammit]

Sweden was so powerful back then :(

[eattherich588]

Holy Roman Empire was pretty much what present day Germany was called in those times. There was no such thing as "Germany" as we know it.

[thepeanutlord]

This is so concise, to the point and informative. Thank you! This is a much better help than my history book for the presentation due four hours :D

[bopp9]

0:16 Europe didn´t look like that then

[JediHobbit89]

Very nice song. What's it called?

[anthonyx860]

@JediHobbit89 the song is "two mandolins", out of a medieval videogame /watch?v=EhdZfaHguiE
