1 Totally untrue. It was a grandiose title given to a collection of (mainly German) states. As was said 'it was neither Holy, nor Roman nor an Empire'

2 Yes

3 Not all. Some German Princes were Protestant - the British crown was settled upon the heirs of Sophie, Electress of Hannover precisely because they were protestants (The Peace of Augsburg provided that the German princes could choose between Catholicism and Lutheranism)

4 No, they were independent already, and one of the results was that such became enshrined as the status quo for nearly 200 years

5 True, in so far as the Habsburgs continued to rule Austro-Hungary up to the end of the 1st WW. Their Chancellor, Metternich, strongly influenced the shape of Europe following the end of the Napoleonic Wars.

The Thirty Years' conflict replaced into fought between 1618 and 1648, totally on the territory of as we talk's Germany, and in touch most of the important eu continental powers. even even though it replaced into from the outset a non secular conflict between Protestants and Catholics, the competition between the Habsburg dynasty and different powers replaced into also a efficient purpose, as shown with the help of the particular incontrovertible truth that Catholic France even supported the Protestant area, increasing France-Habsburg competition. The results of the Thirty Years' conflict and appropriate episodes of famine and disease replaced into devastating. The conflict would have lasted for 30 years, besides the indisputable fact that the conflicts that caused it persevered unresolved for a a lot longer time. The conflict ended with the Treaty of Westphalia.
