1540 CE to 1683 CE

The anti-Habsburg rebellions reflect the rising tensions between Catholics and Protestants in the early 1600s.

Proponents of the Counter-Reformation, often operating under Habsburg protection, are reaping the fruits of a generation of work: monastic life is reviving, Catholic intellectual life is regaining confidence, and prominent figures are returning to the Catholic Church.

As a result, Protestants are increasingly on the defensive. The German princes split into two military camps based on religious affiliation: the Evangelical Union and the Catholic League.
