16.4-The Rise of Austria & Prussia

Holy Roman Empire Voltaire’s take: neither Holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire By 1600 the HRE: patchwork of several 100 separate states; emperor selected by 7 electors (the top German Princes) held no real power

Thirty Years War (War of German Principalities) 1618-1648 Bohemia: present day Czech Republic Ferdinand: Catholic Hapsburg king of Bohemia wanted power over nobles Defenestration of Prague:1618 rebellious nobles threw officials from a window

Shifting Alliances? Religion v. politics: Ferdinand set out to reverse the Reformation by force, general revolt widened into alliances across Europe, eventually political interests became more important than religious beliefs - Catholics were joining Protestants to fight Catholics

Destruction of HRE Mercenaries: soldiers for hire, thugs seeking wealth Depopulation: 1/3rd of all Germans are killed in the ensuing conflict

Peace of Westphalia (1648) Results: France is the big winner! Gained lands from Germany & Spain Neth. & Swiss Fed. Gained independence HRE basically disintegrates, princes on their own (Hapsburgs big losers) Ger. fragmented til 1871

Hapsburg Austria Bohemia, Hungary, & parts of Poland added Challenges to its unity: geography, cultural diversity, variety of languages, laws, political assemblies, customs settled these areas with German speaking officials and landowners

Maria Theresa (1717-1780): (ruled 1740-1780) father Charles VI persuaded European rulers to recognize his daughter (failed!) Qualities:gained the respect of her people by standing up to Prussia, reorganized the gov., and tax system easing pressure on the poor

War of Austrian Succession: Theresa’s fight for Legitimacy (1740-1748) Frederick II of Prussia: occupied the mineral rich province of Silesia following Charles VI death Maria Theresa never forced him out, but “shored up” her empire

Prussia Background: emerging Protestant power across northern Germany Hohenzollern: rich landowning family which united their lands to create Prussia in 1600s

Hohenzollern bureaucracy Frederick William I: ruler who shrewdly gained the support of the junkers by giving them jobs- mostly military Junkers: Prussian nobility

Frederick II Frederick I’s heir whose rough upbringing saw him go from scholar (poet/flute) to runaway (friend’s beheading) - bold military leader “Frederick the Great”

Prussia v. Austria Catholic Austria (S) vs. Protestant Prussia (N) - fought from 1740 through Treaty of Paris in 1763

England v. France Seven Yrs War (1756 - 1763): fought on 4 continents by major European powers French & Indian War: No. Am aspect of the Seven Yrs War (Last of Mohicans)

Treaty of Paris (1763) Britain big winner and huge empire Changed the balance of power in Europe for the next 100 yrs Prussia & Austrian soon partitioned Poland (1795)
