    The Thirty Years War was a 17th century religious conflict between Roman Catholics and Protestants in Germany and surrounding areas that lasted from 1618 to 1648. It began when Ferdinand II, the future Holy Roman Emperor, attempted to impose Catholic absolutism on his domains, leading Protestant nobles in Bohemia and Austria to rise up in rebellion. Over the 30 years of fighting, thousands died from violence, famine, and plague, devastating the German population and economy. The war drew in other European powers like France, Spain, Denmark, and Sweden and left the Holy Roman Empire weakened.

    war.

    continue growing crops. The Holy Roman Empire was never made again.
