Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Noch heute gilt «Dreißigjähriger Krieg» als Metapher für die Schrecken des Krieges schlechthin, dauerte es doch Jahrzehnte, bis die Verwüstungen überwunden waren, die der längste Krieg auf deutschem Boden angerichtet hatte. Dabei war, als am 23. Mai 1618 protestantische Adelige die Statthalter des römisch-deutschen Kaisers Ferdinand II. aus den Fenstern der Prager Burg stürzten, kaum abzusehen, was folgen sollte: ein Flächenbrand, der erste im vollen Sinne «europäische Krieg». Fesselnd erzählt Herfried Münkler vom Schwedenkönig Gustav Adolf und dem Feldherrn Wallenstein, von Kardinälen und Kurfürsten, von den Landsknechten und den durch Krieg und Krankheiten – ein Viertel der Bevölkerung fand den Tod – verheerten Landschaften Deutschlands. Auch die europäische Staatenordnung lag in Trümmern – und doch entstand auf diesen Trümmern eine wegweisende Friedensordnung, mit der eine neue Epoche ihren Ausgang nahm. Herfried Münkler führt den Krieg in all seinen Aspekten vor Augen, behält dabei aber auch unsere Gegenwart im Blick: Der Dreißigjährige Krieg kann uns, wie er zeigt, besser als alle späteren Konflikte die Kriege der Gegenwart verstehen lassen. Eine packende Gesamtdarstellung, die historische Erzählung und politische Analyse vereint.

Book excerpt: Die Ur-Katastrophe der Deutschen Mit einem Aufstand in Böhmen begann im Jahr 1618 der Dreißigjährige Krieg, doch bald schon hatte das blutige Ringen um Glaubensfragen und die Vormacht in Europa den halben Kontinent erfasst. Riesige Söldnerheere brachten nie gekannte Verwüstungen über die Bevölkerung, Hungersnöte und Endzeitstimmung grassierten. Das morsche Staatengefüge Europas geriet an den Rand des Zusammenbruchs. Erst 1648 machte der Westfälische Friede dem Grauen ein Ende und etablierte einen neuen Umgang mit Macht und Religion in Europa. Gemeinsam mit renommierten Historikern erörtern SPIEGEL-Autoren Ursachen und Verlauf des Dreißigjährigen Krieges, porträtieren die wichtigsten Protagonisten dieser Jahre und fragen, welches Erbe diese Katastrophe den Deutschen hinterlassen hat.

Download or read book Coping with Life during the Thirty Years War 1618 1648 written by Sigrun Haude and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-08-30 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At its core, Coping with Life during the Thirty Years’ War (1618–1648) explores how people tried to survive the Thirty Years’ War, on what resources they drew, and how they attempted to make sense of it. A rich tapestry of stories brings to light contemporaries’ trauma as well as women and men’s unrelenting initiatives to stem the war’s negative consequences. Through these close-ups, Sigrun Haude shows that experiences during the Thirty Years’ War were much more diverse and often more perplexing than a straightforward story line of violence and destruction can capture. Life during the Thirty Years’ War was not a homogenous vale of gloom and doom, but a multifaceted story that was often heartbreaking, yet, at times, also uplifting.

Download or read book The Thirty Years War written by and published by Hackett Publishing. This book was released on 2009-03-15 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Thirty Years War: A Documentary History fills a gap in recent studies of the great pan-European conflict, providing fresh translations of thirty-eight primary documents for the student and general reader. The selections are drawn from the standard political documents, from the Apology of the Bohemian Estates for the Defenestration of Prague to the text of the Treaty of Westphalia, as well as from imperial edicts, trial records, letters, diary entries, and satirical broadsheets, all directly translated from the Early New High German, French, Swedish, and Latin. The volume contains some ten illustrations and one map . . . and on the whole is well organized and well presented with a judicious amount of footnotes and a slim For Further Reading section. A succinct introduction introduces the four sections, each with its own substantial introduction: (1) Outbreak of the Thirty Years War (1618-1623), (2) The Intervention of Denmark and Sweden (1623-1635), and (3) The Long War (1635-1648). The concluding section (4) Two Wartime Lives (1618-1648), interestingly juxtaposes the journals of a wandering mercenary and a settled townsman. The first is the diary of Peter Hagendorf, kept between the years 1624 and 1649 and only rediscovered in 1993. Hagendorf experienced the war as a common mercenary from the Baltic to Italy, from France to Pomerania. His counterpart is Hans Heberle, a shoemaker from a small town in the territory of the free imperial city of Ulm whose Zeytregister chronicled happenings both in the neighborhood and further afield. The engrossing accounts of their shifting fortunes over the three decades of the war really help to give this collection of texts, and the troublesome period itself, a human face. They are the stuff from which Grimmelshausen would craft his great novel of the war, The Adventuresome Simplicissimus (1668). Tryntje Helfferich is to be applauded for this consistently interesting and eminently useful volume. --Martin W. Walsh, University of Michigan, in Sixteenth Century Journal
Download or read book The Projection and Limitations of Imperial Powers 1618 1850 written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2012-05-03 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The two centuries that chronologically bind the topics in this volume span a period in which Europe was in its global ascendancy. The projection of imperial powers reflected the increasing centralization of states. The ability of state institutions to control and pay for the acquisition, protection and maintenance of empires could only be achieved when internal threats abated and centralized bureaucratic states emerged. Expansion, however, was not uniform, and the desire to export power was often limited by economic considerations and internal political and social conflict. Nevertheless, between 1618-1850 hegemonic empires were established and yet, the incidence of conflict between them declined in the years after 1815. This volume explores the various factors related to the projection and limitation of imperial powers in the western world. Contributors are Jeremy Black, Paul W. Schroeder, John A. Lynn, Dennis Showalter, Peter H. Wilson, Janet M. Hartley, Ciro Paoletti and Robert Epstein.
Download or read book Artful Armies Beautiful Battles written by Pia F. Cuneo and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2021-12-28 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Warfare, and the circumstances surrounding it, have often provided important impulses for cultural production. This book explores the relationship between warfare and image-making in the early modern period. Rather than dealing with images simply as reproductions of actual events, the volume demonstrates complex processes by which political, national and social identities are negotiated and fashioned in warfare imagery. The book analyses three main issues: the impact of war on art, the ways in which warfare imagery supports dominant ideologies, and the manner in which such imagery also constructs alternative identities. The essays offer a broad range of methodologies while dealing with a wide array of chronological, geographical and artistic materials. Historians and art historians will find this volume particularly useful in its nuanced examination of the relationship between art and history.
Download or read book Intervention and State Sovereignty in Central Europe 1500 1780 written by Patrick Milton and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022-10-20 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interventions in other states on behalf of their subject populations is often portrayed as a novel phenomenon in state practice, one which breaches the old principle of sovereignty. But is this practice really so new? Patrick Milton argues that such interventions for the protection of other rulers' subjects occurred frequently as far back as the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries. It is the first detailed study of interventions in the early modern period and focusses on central Europe, in particular the Holy Roman Empire. It therefore challenges the common view that in the period after the Peace of Westphalia (1648), the legal scope for, and occurrence of, intervention, were reduced. The book sheds new light on the geopolitical and legal interconnections between the old German Reich and Europe, while also providing comparative insights. It investigates the norms inherent in central European interventions and thereby contributes to a better understanding of the political and legal culture of the Empire, while also assessing the relative importance of geopolitical considerations in such undertakings.
Download or read book The Ashgate Research Companion to the Thirty Years War written by Olaf Asbach and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-23 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Thirty Years’ War (1618-1648) remains a puzzling and complex subject for students and scholars alike. This is hardly surprising since it is often contested among historians whether it is actually appropriate to speak of a single war or a series of conflicts. Similarly emphasis is also put on the different motives for going to war, as conflicting religious and political interests were involved. This research companion brings together leading scholars in the field to synthesize the range of existing research on the war, which is still fragmented and divided along national historical lines, and to further explore the complexities of the conflict using an innovative comparative approach. The companion is designed to provide scholars and graduate students with a comprehensive and authoritative overview of research on one of the most destructive conflicts in European history.
Download or read book Making Peace in an Age of War written by Mark Hengerer and published by Purdue University Press. This book was released on 2019-11-15 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This English-language translation of Mark Hengerer's Kaiser Ferdinand III: 1608–1657 Eine Biographie is based on an analysis of the weekly reports sent by the papal nuncio’s office to the Vatican. These reports give detailed information about the daily whereabouts of the dynasty, courtiers, and foreign visitors, and they contain the gossip of the court in addition to weekly analysis of some political problems. This material enabled the author to report on daily life of the dynasty and to analyze the circumstances under which policy was made, which has led to a balance between the personality of Ferdinand III and the problems with which he dealt. In this biography, Hengerer provides answers to the question: Why did it take the emperor more than ten years to end a devastating war, the traumatizing effects of which on central Europe lasted into the twentieth century, particularly since there was no hope of victory against his foreign adversaries from the very moment he came into power?
