Does anyone know anything about The Thirty Years War??

I have a History essay written on the topic due on Thursday and I am having difficulties.
My thesis is that The Thirty Years War was one of the most meaningless wars of European history because nothing resulted from the war.

I am still trying to come up with my sub-topics and am struggling slightly.

Honestly I thought the topic was on something else entirely and would have looked so dumb if I handed in my paper on what I thought the Thirty Years War was actually. But then getting into books and papers I found out that it was on a war that holds no significance in Europe other than it happened. I probably should have started this essay about a week ago but other things come up and you get so busy studying for mid-terms and other projects it's just hard.
What I dislike was that I am friends with this boy in my class and he is in the business program at my school. Of course he started his essay two weeks ago and has been, how should I put this, bragging about his progress on his essay. He has more free time, its just that he doesn't seem to understand that he has it easy. And that Architecture is a much more demanding program than business. Not saying that business is an easy program and architecture is a hard program. It's just that my program has so many more deadlines than business that there is many more things that I have to account for, than he does. For example: he said that his program has 3 take home exams, well I'll be. what a shocker!! How simple? He can look up the answers, go online, ask classmates. My program, I have 5 exams all written and in a gym or classroom and I have to study for them! No open book! Not that I am complaining because I would much rather be in architecture than business any day, but he just doesn't realize that some people don't have what he has. Ugh!! so frustrating. I mean the guy is nice, i just don't think he realizes that he is bragging.

What a life.
Well if anyone has any ideas, or in depth knowledge of The Thirty Years War, let me know:)
