description From 1612 to 1617, Philip III of Spain pressed his claims to the Bohemian and Hungarian thrones. In doing so, he prevented the election of Archduke Ferdinand to these thrones. The Austrian Habsburgs warned Philip that to delay Ferdinand's election might cause the Bohemians to choose a non-Habsburg king. Despite these warnings, Philip held out until Ferdinand ceded Alsace and several Italian fiefs to Spain. In 1618, however, the Bohemian estates revolted against Ferdinand and the Thirty Years' War began. This article examines the conflicting opinions of Spanish ministers and Philip III regarding the Bohemian and Hungarian successions. Neither the monarch nor his councillors had a clear understanding of the Spanish monarchy's needs. In seeking to expand territorially, Philip involved his kingdoms in a war which they could ill afford. Spanish entrance into the Thirty Years'War was thus the result of an ill-conceived idea of what constituted "Spain."
