The Bohemian Revolt (7 players)

In 1619 dies Matthias of Austria, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, and Ferdinand II inherits the throne, becoming the Emperor and King of Bohemia. Ferdinand begins his crusade to restore Catholicism in the Empire. Bohemia resists his intentions, with support from Lusatia, Moravia and Silesia, which sign the Act of Confederation. The Confederation chose Frederick, Elector of the Palatinate, as new king. The Habsburgs, both from Spain and Austria, try to suffocate the Bohemian revolt with an iron fist. Meanwhile, the fragile Twelve Years' Truce between the spanish Habsburgs and the United Provinces is about to break, and the kingdom of Denmark-Norway shows its interest for the north of Germany.
