Reply to comment by volinaa in TIL The European 30 Years' War 1618 - 1648 began with Czech nobles throwing two Habsburg governors out of Prague castle window onto a huge dungheap. The corresponding carnage - fought over the issue of religious freedom following the Protestant Reformation - left millions dead. by Royal_Bumblebee_

Also loads of farmers were drafted, killed or driven away. Resulting in massive famines since production output was simply lowered. And lets not forget the diseases that 30 years of war brings and spreads around.

Yeah you didnt want to live in europe back then.

I would have bought Apple stocks when they were around 1 Groat, and later would purchase a 100m boat with my 100 Groats and anchored off Mykonos for a few years until New Zealand was discovered.
