"miserable" is a very soft definition for what was life for civilians during the 30 years war. According to statistics, the percentage of civilian and military casualties in the HRE was bigger than the one nazi Germany suffered during WW2, just to put things in perspective. It was a war like no one before, and although it didn't see much complex territorial changes or repentine fall of empires, can be seen as the beginning of what Europe will be for the following 300 years: the rise of France, Netherland, Sweden, the decline of Imperial Spain and the HRE, who finally abandoned the (super cool but ultimately impossible) idea of a unified Europe under Habsburg rule, much modern ideas regarding diplomacy, religious liberty and military warfare, and most important, it ended once and for all the so called Religious Wars in Europe.

The nazis actually didn't suffer that much in terms of civilian casualties during the war, so that's not actually a great comparison as I think under a million civilian casualties were suffered by the nazis since the war was primarily fought beyond its own borders (as well as roughly 5 million military casualties out of a population of over 80 million). Remember that to get to Russia, Germany first had to get through Poland and that Germany wasn't actually reached until early 1945, where they capitulated in less than 5 months. In comparison, the Germans were in Russia until late 1943 and into 1944 and in Poland until 1945. The second world War was primarily destructive in the East where it was industrial warfare for many years. Roughly 45 million of the 70 million deaths of WW2 were in Russia and China. And then I think an extra 6 million or so died in Poland.

What is impressive with Sweden's military organisation during that time - the King himself dies on the battlefield - still the swedes just kept on winning battle after battle through the war and they were almost always outnumbered. Many great generals and impressive logistics right there.

5:20 Hey, I remember reading that comment about the horse! Glad to see you followed through!

Great video! To sum up one of the most insane, complicated wars in history in 10 minutes in a way that is easy to understand and is enjoyable, too, is just amazing. Got to love the ghost horse and the the out the window bit, picture of the sultan crossed out, etc. Too darn funny! I love your videos. Just not enough of them. That's the only problem with them. Lol. Please keep the outstanding videos coming and God bless you, my friend!

I was struggling with this topic and your video really helped me to understand it. THANK YOU!!!

I used this video to study for a ap European history test on the 30 years war I passed

I love that the horses either go by very quickly or are put behind other characters.

Your illustration style is great! I love the humor you're able to add to an educational video. This is like the 10th video in a row I've watched.

One of the most complex conflicts ever. You nailed it. Quite brilliant summary,

3:27 Sweden to Denmark: Let me show you how it´s done.

WOW! You are GOOD! I read "The Thirty Years War (New York Review Books Classics)" by C. V. Wedgwood and it was a long slog for me! And confusing: So many Ferdinands and Fredericks that I couldn't keep track of who's who! Ferdinand II, Holy Roman Emperor's slogan should have been MTHREGA (Make The Holy Roman Empire Great Again!) From the book I read, the 30 Years War ended after all the original antagonists (like Ferdinand II) died and all the powers that be were too exhausted to continue. And the German states were a ruin of barren farms, dead bodies and starving people. Ten minutes! You are REALLY good!

Brilliant!! I love the videos in this channel, but the Sabaton cameo made this one that much more special!

Ok... how you managed to condense all of that into 10 mins is quite amazing. Learnt a lot as well!

Ah, humanity at its best, thanks for cheering me up!

Could you do a video on the decline of Poland lithuania?

Essentially Lithuania rose because the collapse of the Golden Horde left a shit ton of real estate. There power and influence decreased over time because they weren’t gobbling up land as fast as Muscovy. Eventually they were like fuck it and United with Poland. Then over time after kicking some German, Muscovite , and Turkish ass they got their ass handed to them by Sweden. Then they got gobbled up by Austria, Prussia, and Russia the end.

I love that you have Joakim walk past when you discuss the battle of Breitenfeld!!!

Great job mate! I studied and wrote my third year dissertation on the TYW at University just last year, really enjoy the vids mate, keep it up!

I also highly recommend Wilson's "Europe's Tragedy: A New History of the Thirty Years' War", the level of detail is remarkable.

The most clear report on the thirty years war I saw. Congratulations.

Yours are the only videos on KZread which I actually watch at 3/4ths speed instead of speeding it up like I might for other videos to suit my craving for rapid information.

Incredible summary of an immense topic. Very well done!

Funny that when you said life was miserable I played another video and got an ad that jingled: *”THE PAST, NEVER LOOKED SO GOOD!”*

Love the channel! History has been never do funny, keep the work going!

I know literally everybody is saying this, but I love the animations and little signs they hold up. one of the best if not the best history channel on youtube.❤

A lot of conflicts really spark from unexpected events, from meeting at the third floor, being late as a chauffeur, and even flunking out of Art School

@0:07 Map of HRe should include both Nederlands and Switzerland, they were still part of HRe officially until Peace of Westphalia.

negative..HRE /Spain had no effective rule over Netherland provinces since...around 1595 i would say (1568 start of rebellion..many battles...but by 1600 only PERIPHERY battles (in "belgium" area). The west phalia treaty, is only that a PAPER confirming the status, so that neither spain nor HRE can LAY CLAIM on Netherlands. Compare American revolution, Indonesian independence, Soviet revolution; Vietnam, etc.. There is a difference between losing effective rule/control over a country and the moment of officially/legally confirming loss of rights/control over that country.

Thanks for explaining such a complicated war so effectively! 👏 Great job!

I missed the days when he made 10 minute videos. The format was more entertaining. I'm fine with him making shorter ones (not everything needed 10 minutes) but wish he made some from time to time.

4:08 Nice Sabaton cameo, I love it.

Wow, so this one's gonna take a few rewatches...my favourite kind of video

When your conquest of a single province turns into a devastating conflict that pulls in all the European Powers

Sabaton was a nice touch.

The Treaty of Münster is one of two cool historical events that happened in my hometown and they will not let u forget it

Currently writing my international politics midterm essay in part with help from this video, so thanks!

*OPENS WINDOW WITH RELIGIOUS INTENT*

Please put more Sabaton reference in your videos...or easter eggs like that in general, love it.

I lost it at “Bad News” Great video once again!

Another, just great video! Thank you

I love how it took a 30 year war to end an 80 year war

i usually have to be at a certain level of drunk to wade into a youtube comment section to take that as you will, but as this is definitely more than the 10th time to date that i've watched this video i finally feel the need to say that your dead-pan discription of the "second defenestration of Prague" is a joke that i still laugh at almost 5 months later

Man I love your channel. I love history, I even watch stuff that I wasn't particularly interested in just because of the funny animations :))) Much love from Romania!

The "More dakka" sign got a chuckle out of me.

I’ve read so much of the 1632 franchise that I forgot what the actual 30 years war looked like without biplanes and ironclads

"This is not the first time people have been thrown out of windows for religious reasons" Ded

Cudos for mentioning both Münster and Osnabrück. Most people either don't name any city or just one of them. Glad to see you do a more thorough job :)

I love that I've only just noticed the singer of Sabaton taking part in Breitenfeld....
