Welcome back! Today we cover the events of 1646 as the war starts to come to an end. Granted the beginning of the end is still three years, but after nearly thirty years of on-and-off war, just having an end in sight is a relief. But like always, peace negotiations take time, and war continues as the fighting enters Westphalia, the sight of the negotiations. Thank you for listening and I'll see you guys next time!

Welcome back! We finish  up our little side adventure with the Battle of Rocroi. It's a bit short, but this does provide a good conclusion for this other aspect that tied to the Thirty Years War. This is one of the most famous battles of this war and era, and soon the Westphalian Peace Talks would begin, which would be where the war would end in a few years.

Welcome back! Sorry for the late episode, but here we have the war in the north, with Spain versus the Dutch and Spanish. It was just as messy as down south, but with more firm allies up north, France could have a better grasp, though Spain would not make it easy. But politics will also rear its ugly head, especially for Spain, whose lead minister was having issues internally and externally. I hope you enjoy and I'll see you guys next time!
