Yes, the most witch deaths historically occurred in Europe, particularly during the late medieval and early modern periods, from the 15th to the 18th centuries. Countries like Germany, Scotland, and Switzerland experienced some of the highest numbers of executions due to witch hunts. The European witch craze led to tens of thousands of alleged witches being executed, often through burning or hanging. While witch hunts also occurred in other regions, such as colonial America, the scale and intensity were significantly greater in Europe.

What periods of time did most witch hunts take place in Europe?

Most witch hunts in Europe occurred between the late 15th century and the early 18th century, peaking during the 16th and 17th centuries. This period was characterized by social, religious, and political upheaval, particularly during the Reformation and the Thirty Years' War. The witch hunts gradually declined by the late 17th century, as the Age of Enlightenment brought about more rational and scientific explanations for phenomena previously attributed to witchcraft. By the 18th century, witch hunts had largely ceased in most of Europe.

What American town is famous for witch trials?

When were other witch trials?

Witch trials aside from Salem occurred sporadically throughout Europe and the American colonies in the Middle Ages. They included a spattering of trials in Massachusetts and Connecticut from 1648 until 1688 with the afflictions of the Goodwin children. The Salem panic and the ensuing embarassment ended the witch hunting in America. In Europe, the Pendle trials in Lancashire, England, in 1612 and the many German trials in the time period were the most significant. Pinning down the exact end of the witch hunts in Europe is not as concrete as in America, but the Enlightenment is a factor.
