(There are more reasons for sure
Catholics have started questioning The Roman Catholic Church during the Reformation.
Abuses within the Church marked the start of the Protestant Reformation. During the late Middle Ages, the Church and popes were increasingly caught up in secular affairs and even competed for political power against Italian princes. Furthermore, the popes began living lavishly to the point where the Church had to increase its fees in sacraments such as baptism and marriage in order to beautify churches. Not only were fees increased for services, but the selling of indulgences—this pardon lessened the time of punishment a soul faced for sins committed during an individual’s lifetime—were promoted by the clergy.
By the late 1400s, many people were buying indulgences using money or bribes to the Church. Due to this, many Catholic Christians protested and religious reverence deepened throughout Europe.
Christian humanists pressed for the Roman Catholic Church to return back to its state of simplicity; they rejected Church pomp and ceremony and highly stressed the importance of Bible study.
The correct answer is agreed to surrender immediately to Allied forces
Between July 17 and August 2, 1945, in Potsdam, a German city next to Berlin, the last of the meetings between the Allied Countries took place, with the presence of Joseph Stalin, Soviet leader; the President of the United States, Harry S. Truman; and Winston Churchill, replaced in recent days by Clement Attlee, his successor as British Prime Minister.
Called “The Big Three”, Stalin, Truman and Churchill had as their objective to decide, in those days in the Castle of Cecilia of, what would be done in Germany and in the territories occupied by the Nazis, thus establishing new frontiers in Europe, as well as the influence of the winning powers on the continent. If the fight against fascism and Nazism had united the Allies, the end of the war brought a new scenario in which interests were not only different, but antagonistic. The beginning of the polarization between Soviet Union, communist, and United States, capitalist, was being drawn.
