In 1600, the exact number of witches executed varies by region, as witch hunts were prevalent in different parts of Europe. However, it is estimated that hundreds of people accused of witchcraft were executed during that time. The peak of witch hunts occurred in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, with notable cases in countries like England, Scotland, and Germany. Specific figures for 1600 alone are difficult to determine due to inconsistent record-keeping.
Between 1400 and 1600, Europe experienced a significant rise in witch hunts, fueled by social, political, and religious upheaval, including the Reformation and the rise of centralized states. The belief in witchcraft was widespread, with many viewing witches as agents of the Devil, leading to intense persecution. Trials often involved torture to extract confessions, and thousands were executed, particularly women. This period reflected broader societal fears and the desire for scapegoats amidst crises such as famine, disease, and social unrest.
