The Thirty Years War (1618-1648) what do you know about it? In some aspects in might can be viewed as a world war. The main fighting occurred in central Europe, but the colonies in North America, what is Brazil today, in Indonesia, and India were dragged into the conflict.
The cause of the war was religion, a war between Catholics and Protestants, but that changed pretty fast when it went back to the basics, power and economy. The evidence of that is what France did, they supported the Protestants in their struggle against the Catholic League and the Habsburgs. France was a Catholic country.
The consequences of the war were the decline of the Habsburgs and the rise of France. Many of the small German states merged and the foundation of Germany was created. The steps toward the national state were also taken after the peace treaty of Westphalia.
