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
