One cause of the 30 yrs war was Frederick I of Bohemia closing down most of the Protestant churches and not letting them build anymore in the Protestant lands. Another cause which marked the beginning of it was the defenestration of Prague. Some Protestants entered Frederick I's castle and defenestrated (threw them out a window) that was 70 (more or less) high. They survive because the Catholics say angels caught them but the Protestants say they landed in some soft manuer. Another example that I am not so sure on was the Catholic Reformation and Council of Trent brought about a desire to take back the Catholic lands from the Protestants. Not for sure about last cause. There are more causes also.

Taking place from approximately 1618 to 1648, the Thirty Years War in Europe had two primary causes. The first was religious tension and disagreement among Protestants and Catholics. The second was the ongoing rivalry among established political powers in Europe, who were still vying for independence and/or control against their competitors.

The immediate cause was a Protestant revolt in Bohemia, which replaced Archduke Ferdinand of Syria, a Catholic, who was soon to become Holy Roman Emperor, with Frederick of the Palatinate, a Protestant, as their king.
