Habsburgs. Power over the world

The book of Professor Martin Reidy “Habsburgs: Power over the world” is an exhaustively complete story of a mighty dynasty that has prevailed in Europe for almost thousands of years, as well as its original universe, which she created, then to lose at the dawn of the 20th century. Starting with modest Swabian feudal lords, in the 15th century the Habsburgs put under control of the Holy Roman Empire, and then in several decades they achieved dominion over a huge part of the globe - from Hungary, the Netherlands and Spain to Peru and Mexico. Historians often depict the Habsburg empire with an unstable state education, a patchwork blanket, but Reidi clearly demonstrates the un -beamed will of the Habsburgs to power, fed by their faith in their highest destiny - to be the defenders of the Catholic Church, the guarantors of the world and the patrons of the Education. From internecine clashes on the territory of future Swiss cantons to the catastrophe of the First World War - this book contains everything that you need to know about the dynasty, which forever changed the European continent and the whole world
