The History Of The Thirty Years' War In Germany

The History Of The Thirty Years' War In Germany is a historical account of one of the most devastating conflicts in European history, written by the renowned German poet and playwright Friedrich Von Schiller. The book covers the period from 1618 to 1648, during which time Germany was plunged into a series of brutal wars between Protestant and Catholic factions, resulting in widespread death and destruction.Schiller's account provides a detailed overview of the events leading up to the war, including the religious and political tensions that fueled the conflict. He also explores the key battles and military campaigns that took place, as well as the diplomatic negotiations and treaties that eventually brought the war to an end.The book is written in a clear and engaging style, and is widely regarded as one of the most authoritative accounts of the Thirty Years' War. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in European history, military strategy, or the politics of religion.In Germany, the schisms in the church produced also a lasting political schism, which made that country for more than a century the theatre of confusion, but at the same time threw up a firm barrier against political oppression. It was, too, the Reformation principally that first drew the northern powers, Denmark and Sweden, into the political system of Europe.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
