The Protestant army, mostly Germans and Swedes, stands at the foot of a hill close to the German city of Nördlingen. Everyone is waiting for the order to attack. Suddenly, the artillery breaks the silence with the cracking thunder of its bombardment. The protestant war cry “god with us” resounds along the frontline. It is mirrored on the other side by the Catholic “long live the house of Habsburgs” in German, Italian, Spanish and Flemish versions. The battle of Nördlingen has just begun. • In this video, we analyze the battle of Nördlingen with the aim of answering three questions: Firstly, what political, strategical and tactical constellation led to an immense battle of four different armies? Secondly, why did this battle change the course of the war and initiate the so-called ‘French phase’ of the Thirty Years War? And thirdly, does this battle really justify the assertion that the Spanish Tercio formation was just as effective as the Swedish Brigades as is commonly argued? • Patreon (thank you): / sandrhomanhistory • Prints T-Shirts: https://sandrhoman.creator-spring.com/ • Paypal (thank you: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/SandR... • Twitter: / sandrhoman • Bibliography: • Guthrie, William, Battles of the Thirty Years War: From White Mountain to Nordlingen, 1618-1635, 2001. • Höbelt, Lothar, Von Nördlingen bis Jankau.

Is it a story? How does it work in practise? Can writing history be objective? Is it scientific ? What makes it a proper discipline at university?
