Three Decades of Tragedy: A History of the Thirty Years War Nick Lewis

Welcome back! This week we go on a linked diversion to a smaller war between Denmark and Sweden, with political consequences on the line for each side of the war. The two rivals had many reasons they could go to war, but today we learn exactly why Sweden decided to go to war in the middle of a major one against the HRE! Thank you for listening and I'll see you guys next time!

Welcome back! Today we move beyond negotiations and politics to another form of politics, and cover the Battle of Freiburg. This was a very focused campaign, and is a more well-known battle of the Thirty Years War. Definitely a brutal battle if nothing else. I hope you guys enjoy the episode and I'll see you guys next time!

Welcome back! This week we got a long one, and this episode was a lot, though it was fun. I cover the start of the Congress of Westphalia, which would ultimately lead to the Treaty of Westphalia, though that is a few years out. There is a lot going on, but I hope this summarizing lets you guys get a grasp on it. Please review and comment, and I'll see you guys next time!

Welcome back! We finish  up our little side adventure with the Battle of Rocroi. It's a bit short, but this does provide a good conclusion for this other aspect that tied to the Thirty Years War. This is one of the most famous battles of this war and era, and soon the Westphalian Peace Talks would begin, which would be where the war would end in a few years. I hope you enjoyed this and I'll see you next time!

Welcome back! Sorry for the late episode, but here we have the war in the north, with Spain versus the Dutch and Spanish. It was just as messy as down south, but with more firm allies up north, France could have a better grasp, though Spain would not make it easy. But politics will also rear its ugly head, especially for Spain, whose lead minister was having issues internally and externally. I hope you enjoy and I'll see you guys next time!

Welcome back! This week I cover the side war of France vs Spain, which would continue after the Thirty Years War ended. Rivals by dynasty, the pair were fighting over Europe even as the French were involved in Germany. And this week we cover the fighting in Italy and the Pyrenees, which was just as destructive as the other war. I hope you like it and I'll see you guys next time!
