The German States do not become an absolute state… By Early Modern Times – French Philosopher Voltaire observed: The Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire It was a patchwork of several hundred small, separate states Holy Roman Emperor had little power over German Princes called electors.

The Thirty Years’ War Ravages Europe Actually a series of wars Began in Bohemia Ferdinand, Catholic Hapsburg King of Bohemia Sought to suppress Protestants & assert royal power over nobles Became Holy Roman Emperor With Spain & Poland tried to reverse Reformation Defenestration of Prague - May 1618: rebellious Protestant Noblemen toss two royal officials out of a castle window – sparked a general revolt

30 YEARS WAR had religious and political causes North was Protestant, South was Catholic A BRUTAL CONFLICT. Roving paid Armies (Mercenaries) Burned villages and destroyed crops KILLED up to one third of the entire population Severe depopulation >>

War ended in 1648 with the TREATY OF WESTPHALIA aka the Peace of Westphalia Divided Germany into more than 360 separate states, “one for each day of the year” - Germany remains fragmented for another 223 years

Hapsburg (Habsburg) Austria Changes its Focus Habsburg Empire in 1700 By the 1700s the Hapsburg Empire included: Austria Bohemia Hungary Parts of Poland Some Italian city states Diverse peoples Slavs Magyars Germans & more Different languages Different customs Different laws Difficult to control so many diverse peoples – never developed a centralized government

Maria Theresa and The War of Austrian Succession Emperor Charles VI dies - No son Daughter Maria Theresa takes throne Prussia takes province of Silesa – sparks War of the Austrian Succession Maria gets help from Hungary, Britain & Russia She keeps kingdom together Reorganized the government Improved tax collection Made nobles & clergy pay taxes and peasant s paid less

Hohenzollern Prussia 1600s – Hohenzollern rulers united holdings in North Germany – created Prussia Efficient central bureaucracy Frederick William I gives nobles positions in government – strengthened his power Best trained army in Europe Frederick II (a.k.a. Frederick the Great) – Seized Silesia from Austria (War of Austrian Succession) all of Europe recognized the great power of Prussia

The Rivalry of Great Powers 1750 – Great European Powers are: Austria Prussia France Britain Russia Various alliances = balance of power Rivalries: Prussia battled Austria Britain battled France

Seven Years’ War 1756 – 1763: On four continents Prussia, Austria, Russia, France & Britain battled in Europe Britain & France also fought in India & Africa In North America France battled England – Native Americans joined both sides (a.k.a. The French & Indian War) Treaty of Paris gave Britain huge empire – changed balance of power
