Denmark, Sweden, and France.

- Denmark (Christian IV) intervened in 1625–29 to support Protestants and fought the imperial forces.
- Sweden (Gustavus Adolphus from 1630) launched a major campaign against the imperial army.
- France (from 1635 under Richelieu) entered the war directly to oppose the Habsburg (Imperial/Spanish) powers.

Spain did not try to defeat the imperial army (it was a Habsburg ally), and England never mounted a direct national campaign to defeat the imperial forces (only limited subsidies/volunteers).
