| Description | The year l6l8 is considered one of the key moments in European history. Perhaps for this reason, its description and often its illustration can be found in almost every textbook on European and world history. It was in this year that the Thirty Years' War began, marking a turning point not only in the sphere of military affairs but in European civilisation as a whole. It would seem that the events at Prague Castle in May l6l8 also represent a turning point between traditional and modern society and are on a par with the symbolic significance of the events at the Place de la Bastille in July 1789. |
