Witch hunting declined with the end of the religious wars primarily due to the stabilization of political and social structures, which reduced the societal fear and paranoia that often fueled witch hunts. The rise of Enlightenment thinking brought about a shift towards rationalism and skepticism of superstition, leading to a greater emphasis on scientific explanations and a questioning of traditional beliefs. Additionally, the consolidation of state power and legal reforms contributed to a more systematic and rational approach to justice, moving away from the erratic and often violent witch trials of the past.

Why did witch hunting decline with the end of the religious wars while the persecution of Jews did not?

Actually, after c. 1700 (or even earlier) the lot of the Jews improved in many European countries, for example, the Netherlands, England and Prussia. this is the question straight from the textbook..haha. well the Netherlands were always Jew friendly at the time, it is not like they improved....just think about it. witch hunting occurred mainly in areas of great religious conflict. so when that died, there was no reason for witch hunting to go down since people were less martyred and paranoid
