The Peace of Prague Pt. 2
Welcome back! This week we finish with the Peace of Prague and the issues that came with it. This peace would set some ground rules, but it wouldn't be as simple as the emperor wanted. Ferdinand and the other princes were still in rough water, and Sweden wasn't out yet.

The Peace of Prague Pt. 1
Welcome back! This week we do more coverage of some of the warfront and move onto the Peace of Prague, which is the negotiations between the crown and the German princes. It was a major shift, and it is a large topic, but it's important to understand it relating to future events. And it will conclude next week, so I hope I covered it well.

The Rhine Campaign
Welcome back! This week we cover the continuing war and the Rhine campaign that involved pretty much all the major players in some form. It won't be the last campaign on the Rhine, but this was the best way to define it. And when I mention the French ambassador in the episode, I meant 1636, not 1634. I noticed the error too late to stop it. Thank you for listening, and please review and spread the word. I'll see you guys next time!Support the show Email: 3decot@gmail.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/3DecadesoftragedyWebsite: https://threedecadesoftragedy.com

The New Challenger
Welcome back! This week I cover France's foreign policy and the escalating tension and conflict between France, the HRE and Spain.

The audio is a smidge different, but I am in a new apartment so I am figuring out the best place to record at the moment.
