Winners and losers in early modern Europe
Thirty Years War (A Very Short Version)Thirty Years War (A Very Short Version)
• War begins over religion but politics and dynastic issues are what’s really at stake.
• European powers all get involved and stir the pot.
• Outright banditry causes loss of life (30% of German
population) and enormous property damage. (Consult Voltaire’s Candide)
• Peace of Westphalia, 1648: map of Europe redrawn and unity of HRE denied.
• Politics take precedence over religion; unity of Christendom in West seems no longer possible.

Losing Out against CompetitionLosing Out against Competition
• Weakening of Monarchy (HRE and Poland) (It’s elective- why a bad idea?)
– Poland disappears in 1795 as a result of actions by Russia, Austria and Prussia.
– Napoleon abolishes HRE in early 1800s. What a long run – 800-1800 C.E.!
• Ottoman Empire: Leadership problems (weak sultans) and falling behind in especially military technology)
Winning States Central/Eastern Europe
Winning States Central/Eastern Europe
• In different ways, different degrees winners establish “service” states which reward “compliant” nobles and create new nobles. (almost no middle class)
• Foreigners welcomed into state service- a modernizing force
• Consciously imitating France, the benchmark autocratic state
Big Future Issue: the Monarch vs. the State
