CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Thirty Years War At the outbreak of the Thirty Years War all these countries, it is true, were prevented from taking part in it by internal difficulties or by wars in other directions. The question whether Spain would be able to maintain itself as a great power alongside of France led to eleven more years of war between the two states, and was decided, in favour of France, by the Treaty of the Pyrenees. For several years Spain was crippled at the chief seat of war by these conflicts in the Pyrenean peninsula. www.newadvent.org /cathen/14648b.htm   (780 words)

Pelmulder Family Homepage Years before, the church-wardens (of the Appingedam church and possibly elsewhere) asked the Mayors (in those days there were four of them, of whom the one who had served the longest had to retire every year) to do something about the disturbed church sermons.

Chronological list of events in the Hundred Years' War The study of the Hundred Years' War is complicated by the infusion of related events ­ often separate wars in their own spheres ­ that sometimes were integrated with, and at other times they only casually affected, the developments of the greater struggle.

WAR ON TERRORISM / The Roots of Discontent / Bin Laden's fury stretches back 80 years / Many Muslims view Ottoman Empire as a golden period WAR ON TERRORISM / The Roots of Discontent / Bin Laden's fury stretches back 80 years / Many Muslims view Ottoman Empire as a golden period In a bid to marshal Muslims to his cause and justify his war against the United States, bin Laden is now citing that period, saying that the Islamic world "has been tasting humiliation and degradation for more than 80 years."
