Welcome back! This week we go on a linked diversion to a smaller war between Denmark and Sweden, with political consequences on the line for each side of the war. The two rivals had many reasons they could go to war, but today we learn exactly why Sweden decided to go to war in the middle of a major one against the HRE!

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. I hope you enjoyed this and I'll see you next time!

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!
