Prince Frederick III the Wise had banned the sale of indulgences in Wittenberg, many church members traveled to purchase them. When they returned, they showed the pardons they had bought to Luther, claiming they no longer had to repent for their sins. <span>Luther’s frustration with this practice led him to write the 95 Theses, which were quickly snapped up, translated from Latin into German and distributed widely. A copy made its way to Rome, and efforts began to convince Luther to change his tune. He refused to keep silent, however, and in 1521 Pope Leo X formally excommunicated Luther from the Catholic Church.</span>
<span>The Austro-Hungarian empire was endangered by feelings of nationalism because there were multiple national groups within the empire. So fulfilling nationalist goals would mean a dividing of the empire. The mere fact that the question refers to the empire as "Austro-Hungarian" is already a strong hint of the issue. Prior to 1867, it had been known as simply the Austrian Empire, but a compromise in 1867 meant that a dual monarchy was recognized (an Austrian ruler and a Hungarian ruler). The Hungarians were given self-governing authority over their own internal affairs in their portion of the empire. Other people groups within the empire would seek their own recognition as well -- Czechs, Serbs, Croats, etc. So where nationalism was a uniting factor in regions like the Italian peninsula and the German territories north of Austria, for the Austrian empire, nationalism was a dividing force.</span>
The Mormon pioneers were members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), also known as Latter-day Saints, who migrated across the United States from the Midwest to the Salt Lake Valley in what is today the U.S. state of Utah. At the time of the cease fire and planning of the exodus in 1846, the territory was owned by the Republic of Mexico, which soon after went to war with the United States over the annexation of Texas. Salt Lake Valley became American territory as a result of this war.
The journey was taken by about 70,000 people beginning with advanced parties sent out by church fathers in March 1846 after the assassination of Mormon prophet Joseph Smith made it clear the faith could not remain in Nauvoo, Illinois—which the church had recently purchased, improved, renamed and developed because of the Missouri Mormon War setting off the Illinois Mormon War. The well organized wagon train migration began in earnest in April 1847, and the period (including the flight from Missouri in 1838 to Nauvoo) known as the Mormon Exodus is, by convention among social scientists, traditionally assumed to have ended with the completion of the First Transcontinental Railroad in 1869. Not everyone could afford to transport a family by railroad, and the transcontinental railroad network only serviced limited main routes, so Wagon train migrations to the far west continued sporadically until the 20th century,
