Describe the actions of the final stage of the Thirty Years War.

The Thirty Years’ War 1618-1648 was the first global conflict in Europe that affected virtually all countries except Switzerland and Turkey. It began as a religious conflict between Protestants and Catholics, and later grew into a struggle against the Habsburgs in Europe. During the war, about 5-8 million people died. The war ended with the conclusion of the Peace of Westphalia on October 24, 1648. One way or another, there was no clear winner in the war. True, countries such as France and Sweden, which were opponents of the Habsburg regime, were able to achieve significant success.
