Protestant Transylvania during the Thirty Years Wa …
Years: 1642 - 1642
Protestant Transylvania during the Thirty Years Wa has successfully kept the Catholic Habsburgs from effectively enforcing the Counter-Reformation in Hungary, of which Transylvania was formerly its eastern part.
Transylvania, under the leadership of György I Rákóczi (1591-1648), has gained international stature as a champion of Protestantism and has attracted the attention of the Swedes, who have marched victoriously through Silesia to Moravia, taking the city of Leipzig in 1642.
