What was the main result of the battle of White Mountain in 1620?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. The Czech estates lost, and the Habsburgs took control of Bohemia and enforced Catholicism
- Step 1: The battle was an early victory for the emperor. Step 2. It ended the revolt of the estates. Answer: a Habsburg victory. Why not the others: Swedish troops took part in the Thirty Years' War later, and Prussia took most of Silesia in the 1740s, so neither is a result of 1620.
