'''The Thirty Years War''' was a conflict lasting from 1618-1648 between the [[Holy Roman Empire]], [[Sweden]], [[Denmark]], [[France]], [[Savoy]], [[Spain]], [[The Netherlands]] and numerous Germanic rebellious forces.
It is one of a large number of [{European Wars]], a cycle of conflicts that didn't truly end until the formation of the European Coal and Steel community, later known as the [[European Union]].
