An important note about the Danish Intervention is that the Danish king was also a Duke of the HRE, so Ferdinand's extended ambitions were a direct threat not to the Kingdom of Denmark, but to Christian IV's personal titles in the HRE.

Great video! I very much like that you focus on the civilian aspect of war!

i was expecting this episode to be called "war". all the episodes should simply be named after the four horses

There was an military rank at the time, the "Brandmeister". The Brandmeisters role was to ransom villages and settlements for vsluab!es and supplies under the(routinele realized)threat of thoroughly burning them down. Brandmeister (fire-master) is ironically today the title of the chief of many local firefighter chapters.

That opening gave me the chills... Thanks Extra History :)

The sack of Magdeburg in Lower Saxony resulted in the deaths of 20,000 citizens and the burning of 1,700 buildings. In the span of four days only 5,000 inhabitants and 200 buildings remained. War is hell.

"You ready, Zoey?" "Mew!"

Great overview of the conflict. As is described in this video, these were "religious wars" only in the sense that the battle lines were determined by religious affiliation (Roman Catholic or Protestant), not because Catholics and Protestants personally hated each other that much. Or put another way, each area's religious affiliation was much more rooted in their pre-existing social and political divides; when war broke out, those socio-political divides were usually the real causes being fought for. For example, as shown in the video, one big threat was Frederick II's absolutism, and the potential dominance of the Holy Roman Empire, and its threat to other nations/kingdoms/empires/families.

The money angle reminds me of a professor of mine who maintained that "For Profit Warfare" had ended by about the 1100's which is why money and such became such a deeply important thing from the Hundred Years War onward
