Question

How was Europe affected by the events following Luther’s excommunication? How did the map of Europe change?

Answer 1

Europe was greatly affected by the events following Luther’s excommunication. The events lead to a lot of chaos and change. These include wars and the spread of new ideas. The map of Europe also changed a lot. However, it was not how many people think a map would change, it changed religiously.  Meaning that the Roman Catholic Church was losing their wealth and power over people, mainly in northern Europe, while other religions were gaining power and popularity in northern Europe.
