The thirty years war was a devastating war that affected much of Europe and rebellions seemingly everywhere that lengthened the atmosphere of disorder and violence. The third phase of the war or the “Swedish phase” marked the entry of Gustavus into the war in 1630. He was a military genius who brought a disciplined and well equipped army into Germany.
