Default If the Thirty Years' War hadn't happened, Europe would have a much larger population today . .



Is it just me or was the Thirty Years' War one of the first disasters in European history ?

Especially in Germany. .

On the surface it was a war about religion yet it is widely acknowledged that political intentions also played a role. .

Instead of standing united as one block Europe began fighting among itself. . .

Germans against Germans , foreigners against Germans etc . .

You may wonder why I bring this up. .
After all World Wars 1 and 2 were much more disastrous. .

I mention it for one reason . .

It kind of marked the date when Europeans began fighting each other. .

All of Europe was depopulated by about 1/3th during the time of the war. .

The sad thing about it is that , even after the war , things pretty much remained the same. .

Politically that is .

It was a useless bloodshed. .

It kind of paved the way for future events though such as the rise of Prussia etc . .

Images from the war. .
