Europe, 1618: The Bohemian Revolt ist just about to begin. Eventually it would hurl all central Europe into one of its worst tragedies, the Thirty Years War. The immediate cause for the war was the Defenestration of Prague 1618 but there were a plethora of reasons for the outbreak of the war. In this video we will look at the consequences of this event which entered history as The Bohemian Revolt 1618-1620. This is the commonly accepted start of the Thirty Years' War 1618-1648, a war that claimed eight million lives, devasted large stretches of Europe, especially Germany and drastically transformed the political and religious map of Europe.
