Could u listen to Metal Crue and Metal Machine by Sabaton great songs that have other bands and song references in the lyrics Or at least listen to The Hammer Has Fallen by Sabaton
I want there to be an HBO series about the Thirty Years War, three seasons. One focusing on a soldier, one on a priest, and another on a civilian. And this needs to be the introduction song!
@@eddiewinehosen6665 The war started over the Lutheran Reformation. Even if the war stopped being about how Christianity was practiced, that is how it began. You can't ignore that and the impact it had on the influence of the Church. That's why the season about the priest is in there; to explore that aspect of the war.
This is one of Sabaton´s best. The lyric is such a masterpiece, as a swede it hits me right "in the feels" every time but really it could go for any conscripted soldier in any war.
It might be one of their best but it shouldn't be the first song everyone suggests because there are way better songs for someone who is just starting to listen to Sabaton
My best friend, and I have experienced this video and reactions to it many times. We love this song, and it gives us chills, even though we can’t see the audience and the members of Sabaton as, both of us, are totally blind.We often hear how Joakim and Pâr react to the audience singing the first verse. We would love to know how they are reacting.
I think conscription has had a positive impact on swedish society. It teaches people to think about war in a more pragmatic way, and how to avoid it. Idk why they would remove it, i would rather have a society that has a good preparedness, in case of war, and if i have to be sent to the trenches, i want to have a fighting chance - not like what is happening ukraine now, where they're just throwing in soldiers into the frying pan with zero experience and DAYS of training.
From comments of the original video: "The song doesn't need to be heavy to be heavy" I guess this is what guys from Sabaton did want to put in this masterpiece when they created it.
I have said that to so many songs for so many years, it is about the message and the way the song is performed! People who hasn't heard a really good metal ballad sometimes have a hard time grasping this. God i love the metal community so much! \m/
The most epic anti-war song i ever heard! After this you mourn for all the young People died in wars because of the greed and Ego of other People and Leaders.
An amazing song and a genuinely legendary performance. It does not get better than this. It is a credit to sabaton that you almost dont need the translation. The emotion is clear even in Swedish. Nice touch at the end.
A total gut punch and one of their best and "heaviest" song s and that is saying a lot. This song gets me every time as I think about fallen buddies in the rice fields or jungles of Nam and having to visit their parents on returning home to tell them of the last moments of their lives and how great a buddy they were and to visit their grave to say goodbye.... War sucks for those of us who survive it, those innocents we scar with it and the families left behind to mourn. This maybe about the 30 year war in Europe (1618-1648) but it is truly about every war before and after it. Plato says it best "Only the dead have seen the end of WAR". Good one Mr. R N R and may anyone touched by war not merely survive but thrive if they can. Every day is a gift some paid for with the lives of buddies who made sure you make it home to remember and mourn for them always.
That it is about every war before and after is a really great way of seeing it. I think people of all nations can apreciate this songs messege. War is always hell and those who don't understand that, really needs to take a look at history both old and recent.
As a swede this one wakes/stirs something deep inside,I guess you could call it love and pride for our homeland and for our history. But on a kinda primal level..hard to explain,but I'm sure it's pretty much what an american would experience during the national anthem. But imagine having ~14000 people singing back to you..chills man..chills!
Before they started playing the song Joachim told the audience that since hardley any one carries lighters any more that they should take out their phones and turn on the flashligts
I cry watching Carolus Rex. Sabaton in Stockholm singing in Swedish about a Swedish King with a Finnish Classical Metal Band Apocalyptica backing them up. So emotional. Suggestion: Most reactors are watching Sabaton's History Channel before reacting, would be helpful plus its extremely educational.
That is also an epic performance!🤘 In Oslo we've got to hear it in Swedish too, with Apocalyptica on stage. I loved every moment!!🤘 They didn't sing this song though, but "Saboteurs" instead, since we were in Norway. Also a great song.
Many of those peasants the landowners didn't care and sent to war were from my country, so this resonates deeply here also. The neighbouring village even has a decades old 1600's fair dedicated to those that left and didn't return. Now, who has been chopping onions here?
This song is brilliant in its way of taking one of bloodiest wars of all time and highlighting the single soldier, and as you said it can be applied today on any one person who goes out to war.
This shit gets me all the time! Metal rock, great crowd and songs about soldiers in war. Imagine if Sabaton had translated this to the fates of American soldiers😮 Had filled every stadium in the USA for many years to come.
The english captions are horribly off. Here's a proper translation: I look behind me and see my homestead disappear My time at home now feels far too short Merely a youth, barely a man, as I heed duty's call If I'll ever see my home again, that I do not know 'mongst kinsmen from my village to battle I marched And the world burned 'cause war, it can Destroy a man I give my life, for my homeland But who's missing me? So picture me like this: A Husband, a Friend, Father and Son Who never returns home But who mourns for me? Went to war for Sweden, got baptized in blood Out there death awaits, not heroism In fields where kinsmen fall, no song is heard Facing our fates, one more time Faaar, from hoooome (Be baptized & die in battle) And the world burned 'cause war, it can Destroy a man I give my life, for my homeland But who's missing me? So picture me like this: A Husband, a Friend, Father and Son Who never returns home But who mourns for me? And when my time is at an end Who cares then? They fight on Does soldier get a worthy end? Fall asleep Disappear And never wake up 'cause war, it can Destroy a man I give my life, for my homeland But who's missing me? So picture me like this: A Husband, a Friend, Father and Son Who never returns home But who mourns for me? 'cause war, it can Destroy a man I give my life, for my homeland But who's missing me? So picture me like this: A Husband, a Friend, Father and Son Who never returns home But who mourns for me?
Isn't it interesting though with the word "fosterland" a more correct for what it means should still be "fosterland" or "rearland". We swedes already sa "hemland". "Fosterland" are more loaded with emotions since it literally means "the land that fostered me".
@@DraneJepz Yes if this was the english version it would be more fitting since that one is more of an overview or third person. But the swedish is written in a first person point of view like a poem by a veteran who ha lived his whole life out on the battlefield fighting for a cause he might not care for. Other than surviving and one day maybe be able to come home. Even if it is about a swedish soldier it really don't have any borders, since most soldiers must feel like that at least at some point. Just to know they are still human and still have a will to live.
Lifetime of war descries the war from the point of view of the war. En livstid i krig describes the war from the point of view of the soldier. While lifetime of war is an amazing song, en livstid i krig is gut-wrenching and makes ninjas start cutting onions.
I love that this song has subtitles for all non Swedes out there. But right where the video stopped the text read "He went outside for Sweden, was baptized in blood". But the lyrics go more like this: Went into battle for Sweden, was baptized in blood...
Official music video for 40-1 has polish lyrics in it. But translation was far from literal. They kept the meaning, but words themselves were more poetic.
That moment right there when we all sang together, that feeling i will NEVER foget it, i get chills and increased heartbeat everytime i see that video. Absolutly insane
Nice vid! Sabaton(from Sweden), are singing about the ”swedish karoliner & their king who lead them”. During the mid 1600’s Sweden were the biggest european country, even defeted the russians at homesoil. All thanks to brave tactics, good officers AND that our king always road with the soldiers at the front line. All soldiers looked up to him like a god and fought thereafter!! They were ALWAYS outnumbered, less artillery and marching directly to the front, right into the fight! Better training, good officers, there blue/yellow uniforms had a reputation that just scared every enemy in any country. Also a king that stood side to side with his men, at least on his horse…always ready! Courage and the will to sacrifice all they had…made Sweden what they were.
I was at exact that concert high up in the back. They asked us to put our lights on but i had to put my phone down and just take a big breath and look out at the crowd and enjoy that moment. Goosebumps x1000.
This was during the 30 year war in 1600´s and swedens new king Gustavus Adolphus, or the Lion from the north as he was called. He came to the conclution that sweden needed a new system to get soldiers conscripted thru the land and he came up with this system that from every Village or city there was a specific number of men who was gonna be sent to the army. A small country like Sweden could never have raised a big enough army to contest the powers in Europe at the time without a strong enough army. This was not the only thing he did he also changed how the battalions and artillery and also Cavalilery was used, making a whole new book of tactics, that both Napoleon and others used as blueprint for a modern army, Its argued that this is when the modern warfare was borne and as soon they went into battle it showed the world the power of this nation. I have watched the sabaton history channel and it explain everything much better than i can.
The English version of this song is very different. Rather than focusing on the experience of a single soldier sent to fight in the Thirty Years’ War, it focuses on the tragedy of the conflict itself. This version feels much more personal.
Until now I only heard the English version which is great but the lyrics of this one are so much more emotional and powerful, like the english one makes me feel like "damn this was a bad war" but this makes me feel empathy to the soldiers as individuals
Saw them live a year ago here in Stockholm (Baby Metal opened, saw you poster). Seeing this and knowing the lyrics by heart, I'll never forget the feeling 🤟❤️
The best reaction to this song ❤ I've seen an american soldier cry to this song, so you're right that the lyrics can be applied to anyone who's been a soldier. It'll touch anyone who's been affected by war.
This was the last live show for me before things shut down. A little over 1 year ago (it was valentines day if i remember correctly) Incredible show. Another favorite of yours "amaranthe" where also there.
I was at this show (sitting in the middle of the platform on the left from this view of the stage) and it was fucking amazing. Sadly this was just before covid started canceling shows ( had for once planed 1 festival and around 5 shows for once) just before this song started Joke asked everyone to hold up there phones since nobody carrys a lighter anymore.
Swedish band singing a song in Swedish, about Sweden, in Gothenburg, Sweden. Of course it's going to be once in a lifetime, if not longer vibe. The crowd and band is amazing
Danish here. i know this song and lyrics in swedish by heart. The song is so amazing and beautiful. Denmark and Sweden have been to war with eachother for about 36 times or so. Cheers for peace my Swedish brothers and sisters. Heja Sverige! :)
3 роки тому+1
This is our anthem to honor all those Swedish and Finnish farm boys who gave their lives in the great wars.
Curious, but I'd like to recommend "No Bullets Fly" from Sabaton, Its a beautiful song, but this has been by far, one of the best, if not the best reactions I've seen yet.
Pär Sundström, the bass player, is also the manager. He said in an interview that music is 1% of everything he does regarding the band. So, when he actually gets the time to play in front of an audience, he very much enjoys the songs and the crowd. I think that's what he's expressing when he holds his arms out, as well as to encourage the crowd. Regarding you getting goosebumps, in some of their blogs, Joakim shows his arm before the show: with goosebumps. He says he always gets them before a show.
who wouldnt. With america sending soldiers to all corners of the world, theres always someone that has to pay and that one is the little guy that dont even wanna be there and all his/her families and friends.
The English version (Lifetime of War) is good as well - different lyrics aside to fit the language better - but the Swedish version is by far the better version. That basically sums up the entire Carolus Rex album now that I think about it - its great in English, but better in Swedish.
Great reaction!🤘😄 You mentioned "The Red Baron"... Check out the live version from Berlin, 2020. You might even see a red plane there... 😁 Or why not Sabaton's "82:nd all the way" feat. Amaranthe (live from Oslo, 2020).
Swedish lords took peasants from Finland (belonged to Sweden at the time) and created a unit of light cavalry called Hakkapeliitat. Those were so feared in whole of Europe that even today they recognize the word hakkapeliitta (comes from Finnish words "hakkaa päälle" their war cry trsl "beat them all"!) My family had three of them bastards and they even survived the war and returned! 😁
something I find curious about the English version, A Lifetime At War, it's not a translation of the conscripted soldier's story but instead presents the 30 years war from a broader perspective.
Sabaton is a swedish band. The swedish version of this song is geared specifically towards the swedish soldiers of the 30 years war.(Edit:which is why the audience singing along is so powerful) Everyone with swedish or finnish ancestry alive today most likely had an ancestor that was involved in that war, in one way or another. Finland was a part of sweden back then so Finland is and should always be included in swedish history from the past. Sweden, even with Finland included at the time, was still a small country but they used everyone they could. To understand the magnitude of this war it would be good to watch the english version as well which deals more with the overall war situation. So much of europes population where killed during this war. Its one of those wars that is still remmebered today in europe. Even if people donät think they remember, they will have heard of it. Or visited a ruin from that the 30 years war without thinking about it. Edit again: i agree its about all soldiers. And this war was the beginning of the end of sweden participating in wars. According to myself atleast :) And I cam to that conclusion by reading about what the swedish people tought of the war in its final stages.
No, sweden wasnt really that small at that time, we ruled the Baltic! some minor villages in Latvia for example still speaks old swedish thanks to that. About the war, It wasnt so much the King and ruling class saw the horrors of it, we were facing bankrupcy! Every penny that went to the state funded the war, and when the income stopped coming it was no other option than to see the war as lost. Some of the swedes got rich as fuck thanks to the war(some of them still are), but the state had none of that. Think if i remember my history class correct it was then Finland decided to claim independence too, and with Finland gone it took Sweden well over 200 years to recover as a nation.
Spanning thirty years, from 1618 to 1648, the Thirty Years War is one of the most brutal wars in all of history, and one of the most devastating for all of Europe. What emerged at first as a religious conflict between Catholicism and Protestantism, rapidly grew into a continent spanning war with the greed, motives, faiths, and enmities of nations and empires plunging Europe into a hellish conflagration. In those 30 years, 4.5 million to 8 million people died. This is in the 17th Century, when Europe had a population below 100,000,000. In some areas of Germany, the population decline was in excess of 50%. If you set out for the war at 18, and fought through the entire war, you would return at 48 years old. 63% of your life would have been that of war. A war that brought widespread death from not just violence, but starvation, resurgent plague, typhus, and dysentery, not to mention famine. Started by the imposition of Catholic Absolutism which was met by a Protestant rebellion in Bavaria, the War would expand to include at various points, all the major German States, Denmark-Norway, The Dutch Republic, Spain, Savoy, Transylvania, France, and Sweden. By 1648, the War ended where it began, in Prague. What remained of Europe was a northern Germany in tatters, both sides financially devastated, countless people without homes. The Treaty of Westphalia that ensued would lay the foundation for the modern world. The War killed off the universal authority of the Papacy and the HRE. Sovereignty of nations would become the new sanctified order. How nations interacted, how the authority of nations was perceived, and how treaties were negotiated were all defined by this treaty, which set the template that endures to this day.

I was there, I WAS THERE!! it was so epic when everyone started singing along! 10/10 concert!
This is one of Sabaton´s best. The lyric is such a masterpiece, as a swede it hits me right "in the feels" every time but really it could go for any conscripted soldier in any war.
It might be one of their best but it shouldn't be the first song everyone suggests because there are way better songs for someone who is just starting to listen to Sabaton
"My friends, let's sing together."
Crowd: "And that is what we did!"
Joakim and Par's reaction to the audience singing the opening verse made this awesome

Dont he know its in Swedish? Thats a lame ass job to be honest...
That song isn't in German it's in Swedish if it was German it's name would be: Ein Leben lang Krieg
Wieso lang?
the correct translation would be : "Ein Leben im Krieg". Which means : "A life in war". :)
well German and swedish are very close
Wouldn't "Eine Lebenszeit im Krieg" be more accurate?
@@Hackimaster well if you translate it from the English title to German, yes. But if you translate it from Swedish it's not "lifetime" 😅
The most epic anti-war song i ever heard! After this you mourn for all the young People died in wars because of the greed and Ego of other People and Leaders.
Im i Swedish soldier and this holds a special place, live and dead

An amazing song and a genuinely legendary performance. It does not get better than this. It is a credit to sabaton that you almost dont need the translation. The emotion is clear even in Swedish. Nice touch at the end.
Man I cry singing this song every time, its so heavy and emotional. This was a proper reaction to give the song and the lyrics justice, loved it!

@@DraneJepz Yes if this was the english version it would be more fitting since that one is more of an overview or third person.

Even if it is about a swedish soldier it really don't have any borders, since most soldiers must feel like that at least at some point. Just to know they are still human and still have a will to live.
I was on this in Gothenburg 2019, the last show before corona hit. And im almost in the front on the left side....this song always gives chills.
These moments of emotion with a great song played live were long gone, Sabaton has brought them bak.
Lifetime of war descries the war from the point of view of the war.
En livstid i krig describes the war from the point of view of the soldier.
While lifetime of war is an amazing song, en livstid i krig is gut-wrenching and makes ninjas start cutting onions.
Yes, this song is as heavy as a song get. I was at the Stockholm gig a few days after this. It was magic.
You should check out Sabaton’s newest song, “Livgardet” that came out around today!

This was during the 30 year war in 1600´s and swedens new king Gustavus Adolphus, or the Lion from the north as he was called. He came to the conclution that sweden needed a new system to get soldiers conscripted thru the land and he came up with this system that from every Village or city there was a specific number of men who was gonna be sent to the army. A small country like Sweden could never have raised a big enough army to contest the powers in Europe at the time without a strong enough army. This was not the only thing he did he also changed how the battalions and artillery and also Cavalilery was used, making a whole new book of tactics, that both Napoleon and others used as blueprint for a modern army, Its argued that this is when the modern warfare was borne and as soon they went into battle it showed the world the power of this nation. I have watched the sabaton history channel and it explain everything much better than i can.
The English version, A Lifetime at War is great too. It tells a different story, but it's still about the 30 year war.
En livstid i kreig is from a first person perspective while a lifetime of war of from a thrid person perspective
@@AkshatPandey that's what I meant.
A lifetime of war doesn't talk about one particular soldier. En livstic i krig does tho.
En livstid i kreig hits way harder if you compare both versions.
I absolutely love your reactions! They're so entertaining and the energy is unlike any other reaction channel on UA-cam.
The English version of this song is very different. Rather than focusing on the experience of a single soldier sent to fight in the Thirty Years’ War, it focuses on the tragedy of the conflict itself. This version feels much more personal.
Until now I only heard the English version which is great but the lyrics of this one are so much more emotional and powerful, like the english one makes me feel like "damn this was a bad war" but this makes me feel empathy to the soldiers as individuals
This is for all the the soldiers died in battle going to valhalla
Absolutely incredible. Sabaton's live gigs are something else!!
I always get the goosebumps as well. Respect borther. Regards from Sweden
Saw them live a year ago here in Stockholm (Baby Metal opened, saw you poster). Seeing this and knowing the lyrics by heart, I'll never forget the feeling 🤟❤️
The best reaction to this song ❤ I've seen an american soldier cry to this song, so you're right that the lyrics can be applied to anyone who's been a soldier. It'll touch anyone who's been affected by war.
This was the last live show for me before things shut down. A little over 1 year ago (it was valentines day if i remember correctly) Incredible show. Another favorite of yours "amaranthe" where also there.
A salut to all that loves there country and only wants the best for it and its people!!
Ahh memories from before the time of corona! 😁, feels like i was on this concert yesterday.
To understand what he sings makes me even more proud to be swedish
In the end, the crowd started singing ”Swedish Pagans”, you should definately see the live performance from Wacken of that song
And that drummer.... omfg... He got skills.... Hannes Van Dahl... married to Floor Jansen of Nightwish :) perfect couple!
Hello😊 I really like watching you and your reactions, you are great. Sabaton is from Sweden and so am I and Love them ☺️🇸🇪❤
I've been waiting for this one for a long time !!! Amazing song and crowd
😀🤘🏻
I was at this show (sitting in the middle of the platform on the left from this view of the stage) and it was fucking amazing. Sadly this was just before covid started canceling shows ( had for once planed 1 festival and around 5 shows for once) just before this song started Joke asked everyone to hold up there phones since nobody carrys a lighter anymore.
Swedish band singing a song in Swedish, about Sweden, in Gothenburg, Sweden. Of course it's going to be once in a lifetime, if not longer vibe. The crowd and band is amazing
Beautiful reaction man
I think you would looove Radio Tapok; hes doing russian covers of metal/rocks songs, like Sabaton or Rammstein etc. And hes just amazing!
Danish here. i know this song and lyrics in swedish by heart. The song is so amazing and beautiful. Denmark and Sweden have been to war with eachother for about 36 times or so. Cheers for peace my Swedish brothers and sisters. Heja Sverige! :)
This is our anthem to honor all those Swedish and Finnish farm boys who gave their lives in the great wars.
Curious, but I'd like to recommend "No Bullets Fly" from Sabaton, Its a beautiful song, but this has been by far, one of the best, if not the best reactions I've seen yet.
Yes the animated version! That gives som extra context!!🤘🤘
....No I don't cry when I watch that one....
Almost 11 000 people were singing together in that concert.
Yeah... That moment when the band... Just HANDS the vocals from at most 5 band members to about 10k+ individuals.
Pär Sundström, the bass player, is also the manager. He said in an interview that music is 1% of everything he does regarding the band. So, when he actually gets the time to play in front of an audience, he very much enjoys the songs and the crowd. I think that's what he's expressing when he holds his arms out, as well as to encourage the crowd. Regarding you getting goosebumps, in some of their blogs, Joakim shows his arm before the show: with goosebumps. He says he always gets them before a show.
This was epic! You should totally check out No bullets fly! Good song with an amazing story! Keep on rocking my man!
this says that even you dont understand the lyrics you can like the music, great day to be a swede
U can actually see the moment from 6min 18sec forward when the lyrics hit him in the heart
who wouldnt. With america sending soldiers to all corners of the world, theres always someone that has to pay and that one is the little guy that dont even wanna be there and all his/her families and friends.
Joakim said the first line of the song and the crowd immediately knew the rest
The English version (Lifetime of War) is good as well - different lyrics aside to fit the language better - but the Swedish version is by far the better version.
That basically sums up the entire Carolus Rex album now that I think about it - its great in English, but better in Swedish.
Finally :)
Next could be "Attero Dominatus" live from Woodstock 2012
Sabaton forever 🤘
Before i watch this video i just wanna say im so excited for your reaction,cuz i almost cried when i first saw this live video.
I have listened to sabaton since I heard that beautiful piece of music and for more than one it is an aural orgasm👍👍👍👍👍👍🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟👏👏👏👏👏👏
mr rock n roll this is a swedish band that sings in swedish and the gig is in one of sweden cities
When silence says it all.
Aaaah wonderful Amazing !!! Right without words !!! Powerfull emotional Great great sabaton
I have been waiting for this one the whole time man
Gotta love Sabaton
Sabayon released a new song Friday. English version is in April
Great reaction!🤘😄 You mentioned "The Red Baron"... Check out the live version from Berlin, 2020. You might even see a red plane there... 😁 Or why not Sabaton's "82:nd all the way" feat. Amaranthe (live from Oslo, 2020).
Swedish lords took peasants from Finland (belonged to Sweden at the time) and created a unit of light cavalry called Hakkapeliitat. Those were so feared in whole of Europe that even today they recognize the word hakkapeliitta (comes from Finnish words "hakkaa päälle" their war cry trsl "beat them all"!)
My family had three of them bastards and they even survived the war and returned! 😁
Sending random people out to war is stil goes on, last time it happend in the US was during the vietnam war
you need to react their song uprising live in woodstock 2012 for sure
something I find curious about the English version, A Lifetime At War, it's not a translation of the conscripted soldier's story but instead presents the 30 years war from a broader perspective.
thats moment when he said it german when its sweden 🙈🙈🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅
That VOICE of Joakim!! Its fantastic and a great WARVOICE 💣
Это что-то пи*дец невероятное... У самого мурашки всю песню были...
Sabaton is a swedish band. The swedish version of this song is geared specifically towards the swedish soldiers of the 30 years war.(Edit:which is why the audience singing along is so powerful) Everyone with swedish or finnish ancestry alive today most likely had an ancestor that was involved in that war, in one way or another. Finland was a part of sweden back then so Finland is and should always be included in swedish history from the past. Sweden, even with Finland included at the time, was still a small country but they used everyone they could.
To understand the magnitude of this war it would be good to watch the english version as well which deals more with the overall war situation. So much of europes population where killed during this war.
Its one of those wars that is still remmebered today in europe. Even if people donät think they remember, they will have heard of it. Or visited a ruin from that the 30 years war without thinking about it.
Edit again: i agree its about all soldiers. And this war was the beginning of the end of sweden participating in wars. According to myself atleast :) And I cam to that conclusion by reading about what the swedish people tought of the war in its final stages.
No, sweden wasnt really that small at that time, we ruled the Baltic! some minor villages in Latvia for example still speaks old swedish thanks to that.
About the war, It wasnt so much the King and ruling class saw the horrors of it, we were facing bankrupcy!
Every penny that went to the state funded the war, and when the income stopped coming it was no other option than to see the war as lost. Some of the swedes got rich as fuck thanks to the war(some of them still are), but the state had none of that. Think if i remember my history class correct it was then Finland decided to claim independence too, and with Finland gone it took Sweden well over 200 years to recover as a nation.
I just love this song even though I don't understand Swedish, and this live performance is so great!!
Spanning thirty years, from 1618 to 1648, the Thirty Years War is one of the most brutal wars in all of history, and one of the most devastating for all of Europe. What emerged at first as a religious conflict between Catholicism and Protestantism, rapidly grew into a continent spanning war with the greed, motives, faiths, and enmities of nations and empires plunging Europe into a hellish conflagration. In those 30 years, 4.5 million to 8 million people died. This is in the 17th Century, when Europe had a population below 100,000,000. In some areas of Germany, the population decline was in excess of 50%. If you set out for the war at 18, and fought through the entire war, you would return at 48 years old. 63% of your life would have been that of war. A war that brought widespread death from not just violence, but starvation, resurgent plague, typhus, and dysentery, not to mention famine. Started by the imposition of Catholic Absolutism which was met by a Protestant rebellion in Bavaria, the War would expand to include at various points, all the major German States, Denmark-Norway, The Dutch Republic, Spain, Savoy, Transylvania, France, and Sweden. By 1648, the War ended where it began, in Prague. What remained of Europe was a northern Germany in tatters, both sides financially devastated, countless people without homes. The Treaty of Westphalia that ensued would lay the foundation for the modern world. The War killed off the universal authority of the Papacy and the HRE. Sovereignty of nations would become the new sanctified order. How nations interacted, how the authority of nations was perceived, and how treaties were negotiated were all defined by this treaty, which set the template that endures to this day.
Ultimate Song for Grunts!
