Between 1618 and 1648, Europe was ravaged by war. No synthesis has until now shown with such clarity the violence and the scope of this civil and European war. The first clashes of the Thirty Years' War broke out in Bohemia in 1618, with the Defenestration of Prague. What at first appears to be an act of rebellion by Protestant-leaning nobles against the...

The campaign of 1794 is first and foremost that of Year II (21 September 1793 – 20 September 1794).
