Years: 1604 - 1604
Religious antagonism has played an important part in the current long war between the German empire and the Turks.
Imperial troops have entered Transylvania, and their commander, Giörgio Basta, has behaved there (and in northern Hungary) with such insane cruelty toward the Hungarian Protestants, also illegally expropriating their estates, that the Transylvanian general Stephen Bocskay, formerly a Habsburg supporter, revolts.
