The biggest catastrophe in Europe, the Thirty Years' War, was caused by Martin Luther's longing for a purer Christianity. Between 1618 and 1648, Europe lost over 8 million innocent people, in an orgy of violence between Protestants and Catholics. Often referred to as "Europe's apocalypse", how did a war between people of the same faith lead to such appalling catastrophe?

@ulrichbehnke9656 23 күн бұрын

Luther wanted to reform the church. And he was not alone - the idea was ripe that the contemporary church was corrupted by Luxus and achievement of absolute power. Bishops, Cardinals and even the Pope got their titles through buying it - and ruling areas like kings - no separation of religion and government and jurisdiction. Luther was no Revolutionary but it happened that his upstanding against the established system evoked the German peasant-revolt of 1525. This turned soon into a bloody civil-war. Luther was disgusted by the violence and took side with the noblemen that this had to end. But then he was later shocked when the peasants were all slaughtered brutally.

Magellan died in the Philippines, around half way the entire planned trip. I wonder how come he ever demonstrated something he never accomplished. His second in command Juan Sebastian Elcano was the one finishing the entire circumvallation. Also Magellan, in order to have his trip financed by the Spanish/Castilian crown, had to be naturalized as Castilian and his name changed to Fernando Magallanes. Gee, it's history, right up your alley.

@@j.yumuraj2880 it was possible to happen because he got backed up by the crown of Castile (and had to become naturalized in the process, meaning he was a Spanish subject at the time he did it, no matter where he was born at) otherwise it would have not happened at all. He didn't seem to have much control over it anyway and his own belief that he was better than anyone else, was his final demise too.

a) Nobody really cares about the naturalization. He was Portuguese, working on Spain’s behalf. That’s how his men saw him, that’s how he saw himself. b) He’s an important historical figure regardless of whether he died on the voyage. Nobody else at the time was daring enough to attempt circumnavigation, and Elcano (who attempted a failed coup halfway through the journey btw) couldn’t have planned the trip, or navigated the uncharted portions of it.

@@j.yumuraj2880 Magellan in Portugal couldn't have done anything, they didn't want him there, that's why he had to become a Spaniard, You say ElCano, couldn't have done it? How did he ended completing the voyage then? I mean it was half a way, it's not like Magellan came any closer to finish it at all. Magellan made a free ride without almost any opposition, it was ElCano who had to take the rest of the trip avoiding conflict with anyone in their way, far from the open sea the Pacifc ocean was. It would have been easier for him to come back from where he came, yet he continued the trip. You're just puking dumb stuff. If ElCano never went back and told the story, no one would even know Magellan got all the way to where he did and he would have been totally irrelevant. Same way Verner Von Braun, couldn't have further his scientific developments without financial support and American nationality, no matter if he was born in Germany. Stop drinking, it's clouding your reasoning.

@@joseabad9416by the time Elcano took over the voyage, they were no longer in uncharted territory. Magellan found the Strait of Magellan, Magellan crossed the Pacific. Most of the rest of the journey had already been traveled by Europeans. Elcano was not a navigator, and didn’t plan the journey. This is an incredibly strange argument you are making, but I think it’s because you’re Filipino and you don’t want to give credit to Magellan. Regardless, Magellan is remembered as the one who accomplished the feat, and rightfully so. Goodbye.

Many combatants were mercenaries, but the Swedish crown did recruit a large part of its army, including its cavalry, from free peasants (no serfdom in the Kingdom of Sweden) as a form of taxation. These soldiers were as brutal as the mercenaries were, though.

How horrifying that after the 30 years war the conclusion that secular law and even totalitarianism is how to govern the state. Yes, separation of church and state is important as well as balance of power is good and important. What is key is that the leadership as well as the population respect Universal Morality.

I couldn't get past the 1st Minute of this. If you Really know this history (of the 30 years war) , it was a Land & Riches Grab by the princes of Europe, determined to take from the Catholic Church everything they could get their hands on. That's it. They were decidedly NOT fighting for any religious reason per se. SO the beginning of this video shows they are biased anti-religious content creators, and are blind to these basic facts about the Christian religion.

@marcel-ifc17 22 күн бұрын

The catholic church is the most immoral institution in history and it's not even particularly close. Its history of promoting supremacism, genocide, murder, slavery and of course enriching itself by its alliances with feudal lords and absolute monarchs against the people. The catholic church has consistently stood against the people and for the elites and has directly and indirectly caused unprecedented suffering and 100+ million deaths including massive genocides in the Americas as well as near endless wars in Europe (from the end of the western Roman Empire to the height of the colonial era).

"When two elephants fight, the grass gets trampled." African proverb. I'm not going to get this quote 100%, but: "men never commit evil so gleefully as in the service of a deity". It's Blaise Pascal, who worded it differently, but my version is true to the original thought. My original thought: religion and guns march hand in hand as the two biggest scourges on Humanity.

Who would have been able to read Luther's theses? anybody in the Renaissance culture. One part of the Renaissance was the influx of Greek texts when the Muslims overran Constantinople in 1453 30 years before Luther's birth. By the time he nailed up his theses, it was popular for royalty to learn Latin for diplomacy and Greek as well. This extended into the wealthy who could support Luther's cause. What's more, translating the Bible into German was a stunt for the burghers. The vast majority of Germans couldn't read at all; mass literacy in German was a product of Luther's Bible and then spread into the peasantry who formed the army of Frederick II. 200 years later.
