Catholic faction
English “Sea Dogs” attacked Spanish shipping

in the Pacific; Walter Raleigh established a
colony in North America (North Carolina)
England had sent aid to the Dutch in their
rebellion against Spanish rule
Mary, Queen of Scots, was executed after being
part of a plot to overthrow Elizabeth I
The Thirty Years War: The Basics
 The Holy Roman Empire (German states) was
the major battleground
 It started as another religious war: Catholics vs.
Protestants
 It was a war of centralized power against
provincial power
 It developed into an international war over
Habsburg power
 It can be viewed as 4 separate wars: Bohemian,
Danish, Swedish, French
 It marks the end of religious domination of
European affairs
 It was ended by the Treaty of Westphalia in
1648.
Causes of the Thirty Years’ War
• Extreme tension between Catholicism and Protestantism
• The Holy Roman Empire was religiously divided by the
Peace of Augsburg (1555); no Calvinism
• The Holy Roman (Habsburg) Empire was divided and
unconsolidated
• The Habsburgs ruled more land in Europe than anyone else
• Many believed Habsburgs had upset the balance of power
controlling too much
• Ferdinand II wanted to be HRE and to increase and his
consolidate power
• The states of the Holy Roman Empire wanted to be as
independent and as sovereign as possible
• German princes wanted independence and a weaker
emperor
• Calvinists wanted the right to religion; Bohemians wanted
freedom of religion
• Catholics and Protestants each wanted to extend territorial
rule
• Protestants continued to seize lands of the Church; Catholics
objected

Roman Empire toward the Balkans
Sweden became the greatest power in the North on the
Baltic
