Summary "The Thirty Years War — Volume 02" by Friedrich Schiller is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The text outlines the complex political and military landscape of Europe during the Thirty Years' War, particularly focusing on the conflicts between the Protestant and Catholic factions within Germany and their international implications. Schiller delves into the reasoning behind various political actions taken by key figures, such as the Elector of Saxony and Emperor Ferdinand II, as well as the interplay of powers like Spain, Denmark, and Sweden. At the start of this volume, Schiller introduces the dire state of Germany as the war escalates. The opening portion presents a detailed analysis of the shifting allegiances among various Protestant and Catholic leaders as they navigate their dwindling resources and complex territorial claims. Key figures such as John George, the Elector of Saxony, and Maximilian of Bavaria are highlighted for their political maneuvering, while the impact of external forces, like the Swedish King Gustavus Adolphus, is also hinted at. The narrative describes a landscape rife with betrayal and ambition, ultimately setting the stage for the impending conflicts and alliances that will shape the course of the war.
