Reply to comment by henryclay1844 in TIL The European 30 Years' War 1618 - 1648 began with Czech nobles throwing two Habsburg governors out of Prague castle window onto a huge dungheap. The corresponding carnage - fought over the issue of religious freedom following the Protestant Reformation - left millions dead. by Royal_Bumblebee_

Good luck to you.

I've read a few books on it. It is bleak and depressing. There is absolutely nothing good in the midst of the fighting, no courageous view of the human spirit, just death and destruction throughout.
