Two Striking Views of the Battle of White Mountain: A Pivotal Moment in the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) The Battle of White Mountain, fought on November 8, 1620, near Prague, Czech Republic, marked a decisive victory for the combined forces of Ferdinand II, Holy Roman Emperor, and the Catholic League over the Protestant Bohemian army led by Christian of Anhalt. These two evocative views from Mary Evans Prints Online capture the intensity and chaos of this pivotal moment in European history. In the first image, the Bohemian army, armed with pikes, is shown in disarray, with soldiers fleeing in panic as the Catholic League's troops close in. The mountainous terrain, with its rolling hills and dense forests, adds to the sense of confusion and disorder. The second view provides a more panoramic perspective, revealing the vastness of the battlefield and the sheer number of troops involved. The smoke from the clashing armies fills the sky, creating an ominous backdrop to the carnage below. The Battle of White Mountain was a turning point in the Thirty Years' War, which lasted from 1618 to 1648 and devastated much of Europe. The conflict, fueled by religious and political tensions, saw the Holy Roman Empire and the Catholic League pitted against various Protestant states. The defeat of the Bohemian army at White Mountain led to the end of the Bohemian Revolt and the imposition of Catholic rule in the region. These powerful and historic images transport us back to a time of war, courage, and determination, offering a glimpse into the past and the events that shaped the world we live in today.
