    The document summarizes the involvement of the House of Habsburgs in the Thirty Years' War, noting that Emperor Ferdinand II initially caused the war by attacking Bohemia, leading to Habsburg triumphs in the first 12 years as they destroyed villages to fund their army. However, defeats began when they lost to Gustavus Adolphus and France joined the protestants against the Habsburgs due to fear of their growing power, culminating in the Peace of Westphalia which decreased Habsburg power.

    Habsburg Script

    By: Mustafa Sherif 9A


    Habsburgs
    • The Thirty Years’ War was caused by a member of the House of
    Habsburgs, Ferdinand II, the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire,
    when he attacked Bohemia and protestants got angry.
    • This gave German princes a chance to turn against the Romans and
    fight them.
    Habsburgs Triumphs
    • The Habsburgs were doing well in the first 12 years of the war.
    • They were destroying villages and paying their army by making them
    steal whatever they want from these villages.
    • In this time, they destroyed the Germans and the Czech.
    Habsburg Defeats
    • The defeats started when they first lost to Gustavus Adolphus and
    were driven out of Germany.
    • They continued losing because France decided to join the war and
    support the protestants even though they were Catholics.
    • The French did this because they were afraid of the power of the
    Habsburgs more than they were afraid of protestants.
    Peace of Westphalia
    • The Peace of Westphalia decreased the strength of the House of
    Habsburgs and their states in Spain and Austria.
