How did the commercial revolution contribute to the start of the thirty years war

The Commercial Revolution was a period which started in the 16th century due to the discovery of the American Continent. As locations which many resources were identified and colonized, many trade routes were created between the Americas and Europe. This transformed Europe, as it brought much wealth to the continent.

As numerous regions were beginning to accumulate wealth, economic autonomy was beginning to become more evident. This caused a series of conflicts among the fragmented states of the Holy Roman Empire which were known as The Thirty Years War (1618-1648) Significant effects of the war were not only caused by military activity but also from famine and plagues.

since most of current immigration into the u.s., both legal and illegal, is coming from latin america. it would be very difficult to imagine or rationalize a country my fellow citizens are trying desperately to flee into, would pose a threat to my prosperity or freedom. since the u.s. has a long history of intervention, but no record of permanent occupation, i would not feel oppression is the main objective.  

the largest free trade nation, along with the largest gdp in the world wanting to expand it's economic policy on us, and including us, could only be positive. the u.s. government has no interest in, or way of simply forcing american culture on us. and has no track record of it. other nations that adopted american social culture, or "americanization" did so voluntarily, mainly through the choice of allowing american businesses and u.s. citizens to come into their nations, as free operatives.
