Originally‚ the cause of the war were religious issues. The Peace of Augsburg (1555) brought peace to the German states but only recognized Lutherans and Roman Catholics.

Over the years I have come to the conclusion that my life is not a highway‚ nor is it like a box of chocolates; my life is more like the Thirty Years’ War.
