With that in mind, this episode is designed to familiarise you with the main themes, the most important figures, and the most active powers in Europe at the time.
We'll learn a bit about the constitution of the Holy Roman Empire, meet the Habsburg family, and take a gander at some other related issues in Europe at the time of the outbreak of the conflict in 1618.
