Contents:
The Thirty Years' War marks the end of the confessional conflicts in the Holy Roman Empire. Recent research, however, emphasizes less the religious character of the war, but rather portrays it as a struggle for hegemony in Europe. The lecture approaches the war from a wide range sources and aims to deepen central aspects of a conflict that marked an important shift in the European balance of power.
