CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Thirty Years War THE WAR IN THE PALATINATE AND THE WAR WITH DENMARK To settle the claims made by the different religious denominations to one and the same territory the year 1624 was taken as the normal year, and the denomination which had prevailed in that year in a territory, was, as a rule, to be the permanent religion of that territory.

Thirty Years' War - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Thirty Years War was fought between the years 1618 and 1648, principally on the territory of today's Germany, but also involving most of the major continental powers.

From the battle of Stadtlohn to the pitiful end twenty years later, the decision of German quarrels lay in the hands of foreign powers, and for two centuries after the treaty of Westphalia the evil tradition was faithfully-followed.

After an interval of many years, he once more appeared publicly in the Diet at Prague; and to convince the people that he was really still in existence, orders were given that all the windows should be opened in the streets through which he was to pass--proof enough how far things had gone with him. In this quarter destructive wars were succeeded but by brief truces, which were scarcely less hurtful: far and wide the land lay waste, while the injured serf had to complain equally of his enemy and his protector. www.gutenberg.org /dirs/6/7/7/6775/6775.txt   (20576 words)

Five years earlier, Druker had received a series of compounds from Ciba-Geigy to test on malignant cells, and he worked with the company to choose what appeared to be the best of the series of candidate drugs. All the same, the triumphalist rhetoric that animated the war on cancer still shapes public opinion: many people believe that cancer is, in essence, a single foe, that a single cure can destroy it, and that the government is both responsible for and capable of spearheading the campaign. www.jeromegroopman.com /30yr.html   (7536 words)
