The only one apparently not pleased about the conclusion of the #PeaceOfWestphalia was ultra-Catholic Cologne principal #envoy Wartenberg, who locked himself in his quarters & demonstratively displayed his displeasure. Despite the conclusion of the #WestphalianPeaceTreaty is generally considered to mark the end of the #ThirtyYearsWar, the #WestphalianPeaceCongress continued into 1649. The peace had no legal validity until it was ratified, nor was it a reality until it was implemented. 5/5

At the #peacecongress of #Westphalia most diplomats lamented the rain. The papal mediator, Fabio Chigi, did not only recorded in his diary, when it rained. He even wrote a poem on the weather in Münster, calling the city “home of the clouds”.
He was not the only diplomat who constantly complained about the bad weather in #Westphalia.
Maybe only those who could complain about the weather in Münster were real #diplomats at the #WestphalianPeaceCongress?
