Das Zeitalter des dreissigjährigen Krieges: Geschichte und Vorgeschichte by Gustav Droysen is a work that examines the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) and the period leading up to it. The book analyzes the underlying causes of the conflict, including religious and political tensions in Europe, and describes the course of the war and its consequences. Droysen focuses on the shifts in international power dynamics, the conflicts between the Habsburgs and Protestant states, and the significance of the Peace of Westphalia for Europe’s future.
