Siege of Dorsten
only the garrison surrendered, not the relief forces; the siege army was probably much smaller than 20,000 - the number seems to be calculated from the number of regiments, which is misleading as regiments of the time did usually not reach their nominal strength

Sr L (
talk) the corresponding article makes it clear that these conflicts were not theaters of the Thirty Years War; some of them were closely related (Mantua), some of them very distantly (Portugal) - battles that can also be seen as part of the Thirty Years War are already integrated in the box (e. g. Fehmarn, The Downs), everything else will overflood this boxTag: Undo

Thirty Years' War
you're absolutely correct and that's why I changed the number - "50.000 Swedes" sounds to me like the maximum number of actual "Swedes" and is definitely not the highest number of soldiers in Swedish service - even in 1648, after a decade of steady decline, they still had an actual strength of more than 60,000 men; nevertheless, 140,000 doesn't appear that realististic - Wilson speaks of 40,000 (reported?) recruits to a previous strenght of 100,000

remove "Hungarian light cavalry"; the numbers should be included in the number above for the Imperial army, I also cannot find the information in the given source

"all-time high" for the Swedish army from Wilson; of which only 10% came from Sweden and Finland, mostly recruits from Germany but also British (mainly Scottish) mercenariesTag: Reverted

replaced the number from Parrott (which is not actually stated there but calculated from a theoretical number for the year 1635) with Wilson's calculation of the effective strength of 1628/29 - he considers this to be the maximum (quote: "unlikely that the total effective strength ever exceeded 110,000")

Battle of Vienna
simplify participants; Habsburg estates combined as "Habsburg monarchy", Lorraine was under French occupation, the exiled Duke of Lorraine led the Habsburg troops, Emperor Leopold did not participate

→Baroque period: a map of the HRE prior to 1648 is already listed in the previous section ("during the 16th century"); in addition, the flag-map has the disadvantage that it neither shows the internal structure of the Empire nor modern-day borders or coast lines; therefore I replaced it by the post-1648 map that actually shows how the HRE was organized in the baroque period

Peace of Ryswick
barrier fortresses are neither mentioned by the source Onnekink nor the Dutch-French treaty; Maximilian of Bavaria, governor of the Spanish netherlands, allowed the Dutch to garrison several fortresses (not Ypres, still French) in a separate agreement according to https://www.google.de/books/edition/The_New_Cambridge_Modern_History_Volume/OOgzAAAAIAAJ?hl=de&gbpv=1&dq=Ryswick+barrier+fortresses&pg=PA381&printsec=frontcover

Thirty Years' War
→Peace of Westphalia (1648): slightly misleading, since both Emperor and Estates conducted the treaties; all agreements had been settled by August 1648, the Emperor only refused to abandon Spain until the Spanish offensive failed and the Estates threatened to conclude peace without him - it was a somewhat different kind of "No peace without Spain"
