Course content
|
During the 16th and the 17th century Czech lands became part of Habsburg monarchy. The accession of new dynasty to the throne brought changes which influenced the relation between the monarch and estates and caused that some social classes took a stand against the king. From broader point of view it resulted in greater participation of Czech lands in European political life (reformation, counter-reformation, Ottoman wars, disputes between the king and estates that influenced the course of events in the whole Central European region).
