Immediate Causes: What were they?

Ferdinand of Styria became Emperoro Ferdinand II = devout follower of Counter-Reformation

Set out to destroy Protestant power in Hapsburg family lands of Austria, Hungary, and Bohemia.

He revoked concessions made to Protestants by earlier rulers.

When HRE Ferdinand II sent imperial agents to Prague to notify Bohemian Estates of these moves - trouble started

Defenestration of Prague

What did this symbolize?

Bohemian people elect a new HRE!!

so after deposing Ferdinand II, the Bohemians elect a Calvinist: Frederick, Elector of Palatinate.

He was known as the "Winter King" for his short rule .

Needless to say a short rule confirms WAR!

Bohemian Phase

Bohemians knew imperial invasion was imminent - so they appealed to Protestants all over Europe for help

Bohemian and Danish Phases

Nov. 1620 Catholic forces invaded Bohemia

Bohemians were crusted at Battle of White Mountain

Frederick fled to The Netherlands - Catholic forces occupied Bohemia

Protestantism was outlawed

Czech language was outlawed, replaced by German.

Spanish troops captured the Palatinate and electoral seat was given to Max!

1622-25 Catholic forces lead by General Tilly moved into north Germany - attacking Protestant lands... war continues

Bohemian Phase over- now onto the Danes!!

Danish Phase

Lutheran King Christian IV was PO'd over General Tilly's movements

WHY?

King feared Catholic army would wipe out Protestantism in N. Germany then invade Denmark

England, The Netherlands, and France all worried about a new Catholic Empire that would upset balance of power

Foreign powers bribed Denmark to enter the war - Christian also had eye on Baltic coast

1625 Danish forces invaded Germany to take on the imperial army.

German war now became international war!
