Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This comprehensive collection of Austrian history over centuries analyzes the monarchy's rise and fall from its military strength in 1547 to its decline under the rule of Maria Theresa (1740-1780). The author traces the shift from the influential reign of Maximilian and Charles V to the period of the Thirty Years' War under Ferdinand II and III, establishing the second military monarchy of Austria. Following a period of recovery supported by external conflict, the book highlights the drastic religious and socioeconomic changes taking place under the re-introduced Jesuit influence and the Counter-Reformation enforced by Ferdinand II. We see a shift in land ownership as the old noble families are replaced by generals and followers of the Austrian court and camp, with much of the nobility having converted to Catholicism. Despite these shifts in power, this era saw a decline in the power of the central authority, with noble and peasant alike seeking greater independence. By examining the political landscape of the era, this book offers valuable insights into the internal machinations of one of Europe's most powerful empires.
