Rise of Austria and Prussia

Objectives Outline the causes and results of the Thirty Years’ War. Understand how Austria and Prussia emerged as great powers. Describe how European nations tried to maintain a balance of power.

How did the two great empires of Austria and Prussia emerge from the Thirty Years’ War and subsequent events? After the Thirty Years’ War ravaged the German states of Austria and Prussia, the two powers coexisted. Their rulers became absolute monarchs who ruled in Europe with no check on their power.

In theory, these states were ruled by the Holy Roman emperor. By the seventeenth century, the Holy Roman Empire was a loose patchwork of separate states. But in reality, the emperor, who was chosen by electors, had little power. In theory, these states were ruled by the Holy Roman emperor. The lack of a central authority led to the outbreak of the Thirty Years’ War. 4

The Thirty Years’ War began in 1618 when king Ferdinand tried to suppress Protestants in Bohemia. Protestant nobles threw two royal Catholic officials out of a window. This became known as the Defenestration of Prague, and sparked a revolt. As both sides sought allies, the war widened into a general European war. A religious conflict changed into a political war for control of Europe. Catholic and Protestant rulers shifted sides to suit their own interests. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYddEfXXQVk

Mercenaries burned villages and killed without mercy. Wolves roamed the streets of deserted villages. Severe depopulation occurred. As many as one third of people may have died in the German states. The Thirty Years’ War was very brutal.

The Peace of Westphalia ended the Thirty Year war in 1648. The treaties aimed to create a general European peace. France gained the most territory. The Hapsburgs lost land. Swiss Federation gained independence Germany was divided into more than 360 separate states.

This was difficult, because the lands they wanted to unify were made up of many diverse peoples and cultures. After the war’s end, the Hapsburgs in Austria wanted to create a strong, unified state. Despite efforts to bring Austria, Bohemia, Hungary, and parts of Poland together, the Hapsburgs never created a central government like the one in France.

European nation-states in 1700

A. Hapsburg emperor Charles VI died in 1740 and left the throne to his daughter, Maria Theresa, who immediately had to fight a new war. The War of the Austrian Succession began when the king of Prussia seized an Austrian province. With the help of her Hungarian subjects as well as Britain and Russia, Maria Theresa preserved her empire.

Maria Theresa was a good leader. Though she did not succeed in throwing Prussia out of the Austrian province it invaded, she did win the support of her people. She also reformed tax collection and eased the burden on peasants.

While Austria grew as a Catholic state, Prussia emerged as a Protestant power. Prussia was created in the 1600s when the Hohenzollern family united their lands. Frederick William I came to power in 1713 and gained the loyalty of nobles by giving them positions in the army and government. He stressed military values and created one of the best-trained armies in Europe.

Frederick trained his son Frederick II in the art of war. B. When the prince became king in 1740, he seized Silesia from Austria, sparking the War of the Austrian Succession. Frederick trained his son Frederick II in the art of war. Frederick II controlled the Junkers Created an efficient bureaucracy Established a strong army He forced Europe to see Prussia as a great power and became known as Frederick the Great.

To maintain a balance of power, European states formed various alliances in the 1700s. Still, two basic rivalries persisted. Prussia Austria Britain France These rivalries sometimes resulted in worldwide conflict, as in the Seven Years’ War between 1756 and 1763. The Treaty of Paris ended this war and gave Britain a huge empire.
