We want to entertain people with history which is entertaining, visually pleasing and grounded in scholarship at the same time. Our golden rules: 1) We only use academic sources and always try to stick to the consensus opinion. 2) We always list our sources in description of our videos. 3) We make clear when we deviate from the prior two rules. Education: Between the two of us we hold two Master's degrees in history from the university of Bern and one degree as a history teacher from the Bern University of Teacher Education. Both of us worked at the University of Bern as teaching assistants. We wrote an article about our experience as content creators (ed. by Dr. Kilian Baur and Robert Trautmannsberger): https://www.degruyter.com/document/doi/10.1515/9783110792898-005/html We also held a few talks about our journey on YouTube at the universities of Eichstätt, Fribourg and Zürich. We taught a seminar about history on YouTube at the University of Zurich in spring of 2024.

Eventually they would hurl all central Europe into one of its worst tragedies, the Thirty Years War. In this video we tell the story of the outbreak of this “extremely complex conflict” as the Historian Peter Wilson refers to the Thirty Years War. In German and Czech history, the Thirty Years War occupies a place similar to that of the civil wars in the United States of America or Britain, or the revolutions in France and Russia: a defining moment of national trauma that shaped how a country sees itself and its place in the world. Religious belief and political power, social tensions, and constitutional errors, warmongering and appeasement – all played their part in bringing about one of the most tragic and devasting conflicts fought on German territory. 00:00-03:22 Introduction 03:22-06:50 Reformation, Peace of Augsburg 1555 06:50-14:07 Cracks in the Peace 14:07-15:00 Complex Geopolitical Interests in Europe 15:00-18:47 Brother's Quarrel & Letter of Majesty 18:47-21:07 Conflict about Bohemia and Defenestration Patreon (thank you): https://www.patreon.com/sandrhomanhistory Prints & T-Shirts: https://sandrhoman.creator-spring.com/ Paypal (thank you: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/SandRhomanhistory Twitter: https://twitter.com/Sandrhoman Bibliography: Guthrie, William, Battles of the Thirty Years War: From White Mountain to Nordlingen, 1618-1635, 2001.
