1	1618-1648	The Thirty Years' War - The Thirty Years' War was a series of wars fought between 1618 and 1648, principally on the territory of today's Germany, and involved most of the major European continental powers. Throughout the war there were shifting alliances and local peace treaties. The war as a whole may be considered a struggle of German Protestant princes and foreign powers (France, Sweden, Denmark, England, the United Provinces) against the unity and power of the Holy Roman Empire as represented by the Hapsburgs , allied with the Catholic princes, and against the Hapsburgs themselves.
