Question

After the peace of Augsburg all of Europe became Protestant.true or false

Answer 1

Answer:

False

Explanation:

After the Peace of Augsburg (1555), Europe was divided in Lutheran (Protestant) and Roman Catholic regions. Therefore, it is false that all of Europe became Protestant. The Peace of Augsburg was a treaty between Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, and the Schmalkaldic League. Its purpose was to end the religious struggle between different Christian denominations in Europe by giving each ruler of a country the chance to choose the official religion of its own state. The Peace of Augsburg led to a rise in Protestantism in Europe. However, many states remained Roman Catholic.

Answer 2

Answer:

  False.

Explanation:

  The Peace of Augsburg was a treaty between the Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V, and the Schalmadik League, which was an alliance of Lutherans princes within the Roman Empire.

  The treaty officially ended the religious struggles between two groups and made a legal division within the Christianity beliefs. It allowed rulers to choose either Lutheranism or Roman Catholicism as the official confessions of their state.

  Although the treaty, other Protestantism branches were not allowed, like Calvinism so, despite they would be able to live in a Lutheran state they were not protected and could be charged with heresy.

  It was not until the Peace of Westphalia that these gain their legal recognition.
