Thirty Years War 1618 - 1648
There were many background causes of the Thirty Year's War. The Ottoman Wars are not often mentioned. However, it was in the Ottoman Wars that many of the principals gained their military experience, and the "frontier" status of Bohemia contributed to the 1618 Rebellion because the rebels thought that they could manipulate the "Turkish Menace" to keep the Empire out when, in reality, the Ottomans had no intention of getting involved because they were preoccupied with events in the East.Yseukewich (talk) 19:13, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
