Answer: religious differences

Step-by-step explanation:

The Thirty Years War started in 1618 and lasted until 1648. It was a war driven by religious differences between Protestants and Catholics. In its early stage, it compromised only Central Europe but as the war developed most of Europe became involved. As a result, horrific violence and destruction widespread in Europe, especially in Germany lands, and only ended in 1648 with the sign of peace treaties.
