The phases of the 30 years war

The thirty years war went through four phases. I have previously discussed the Defenestration of Prague  you can see it here. This happened during the Bohemian Phase. The second is the Danish phase. The third phase was the Swedish phase, many of the mercenaries hired in this phase were Scottish. The last phase was the french phase. The last major battle of the war took place in Lens, France. The French were outnumbered but won the battle due to their superior cavalry.
