    • Abstract:
      During the first phases of the Thirty Years’ War (1618-1648), it appeared that Emperor Ferdinand II would be at least partly successful in emulating the powers of Western Europe by establishing a stronger national state based on monarchical authority and religious conformity. The Edict of Restitution, issued in 1629, marked the turning point after which achievement of these ambitions became increasingly unlikely.
