Battle of White Mountain
The Battle of White Mountain took place on November 8, 1620, near Prague, during the early stages of the Thirty Years' War. It was a significant conflict between the forces of the Habsburg Monarchy, led by Count Johann Tserclaes Tilly, and the Protestant army of the Bohemian Confederation, commanded by Christian of Anhalt. The battle resulted in a decisive victory for the Habsburgs, solidifying their control over Bohemia.
This battle marked a turning point in the war, as it effectively ended the Bohemian Revolt against Habsburg rule. Following their defeat, many Protestant leaders fled, and the Habsburgs implemented strict Catholic policies in the region. The outcome of the battle had lasting implications for the religious and political landscape of Central Europe.
