Destruction of a village in the Thirty Years' War. The Thirty Years' War was a conflict that lasted from 1618 to 1648 and involved most of the major European powers of the time. It began as a religious war between Protestants and Catholics in the Holy Roman Empire, but eventually evolved into a complex struggle for power and influence in Europe. The war was marked by a series of brutal battles, sieges, and massacres, and resulted in the deaths of millions of people. It also had a profound impact on the political and social landscape of Europe, contributing to the decline of the Holy Roman Empire and the emergence of France and Sweden as major powers. The Treaty of Westphalia, which ended the war, is considered a milestone in the development of modern international law and diplomacy.
