Answer:

The commercial revolution of the late Middle Ages had already opened up new trade routes and stimulated innovative business practices. The maritime expansion contributed to an accumulation of wealth, growth of the middle classes and a rise of entrepreneurship that fostered the Thirty Years' War.
