С.В. Веджвуд is an author of a number of labours about Europe of XVII of century and one of the known and popular historians of Great Britain, presents the exhaustive chronicle of thirty Years war with her basic battles and main participants. She represents Europe 1618, torn apart by contradictions between catholics and protestants| by Bourbons and Габсбургами| between empires, kingdoms and numberless shallow, living and bright paints by the states. Since the infuriated protestants threw out three representatives of the Sacred Roman empire from the windows of royal lock in Prague, - a revolt blazed up, and war began inexorably to come unravelled from Bohemia on all Europe, involving countries from Spain to Sweden in the nightmarish merry-go-around of hunger, epidemics and endless chaos.In the format of a4.pdf is stored publishing layout.
