Excerpt from Lectures on European History
Bishop Stubbs refused to regard the Thirty Years' War as a struggle waged by the dynastic policy of Austria against the Spirit of the German people - a point of view dear to Prussian historians. 'we cannot say,' he writes, 'that the Saxon and Brandenburger regarded the struggle as one of truth and enlightenment against darkness and error.'

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, a meticulous exploration of European history from 1519 to 1648, centers on the multifaceted reign of Charles V, the Holy Roman Emperor. The author analyzes the historical backdrop of this complex era, tracing the political, religious, and social forces that shaped Europe during Charles's rule. Through an in-depth examination of Charles's reign in Spain and the Netherlands, the book delves into the challenges and consequences of his governance. It sheds light on the intricate interplay between Charles's personal ambitions and the aspirations of the diverse territories under his control. Central to the discussion is the tension between Charles's desire for a centralized monarchy and the enduring influence of local institutions and traditions. The author explores how Charles's policies, often driven by financial necessity and strategic geopolitical considerations, provoked resistance and unrest among his subjects. The analysis extends to the impact of religious divisions, particularly the Protestant Reformation, on Charles's rule, and its role in fueling conflicts and shaping political alliances. This book offers a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of Charles V's reign, highlighting its significance as a turning point in European history. By examining the complex tapestry of events and ideas that characterized this period, the author illuminates the enduring legacies of Charles's rule, shaping the political and religious landscape of Europe for centuries to come.
