The Thirty Years' War ranges among the
epoch-making confrontations in the history of Europe. This conflict, which
involved the whole of central Europe, supported the modern process of state
formation in such a way that it is justified to describe it as the beginning of
a new period in early modern history. Its duration, its intensity and the social
changes caused by that left their mark in the collective memory of large parts
of the
|
|
|
population until
today, most of all in Germany. At first sight, the manifold intertwinement of
political, denominational and economic factors, especially in a European
context, and their long-term effects give the picture of a fascinating albeit
rather impenetrable complex dynamism. Maybe this is why an interest in the
Thirty Years' War, far beyond the world of science, can still be noticed today. |
