He bankrolled Sweden to wage war against the Spanish Hapsburgs. Because he was obviously Catholic and Sweden was Lutheran, this gave the Thirty Years War a greater secular focus than originally, where Ferdinand wanted to re-Catholicize the Holy Roman Empire.

As a result, Cardinal Richelieu actually supported the Protestant Swedes and German statelets against the Catholic Habsburgs, betraying his religious allegiance (he was a Catholic Cardinal), in order to preserve French independence.
