Question

Which European countries became mostly protestant and which remained mostly roman catholic

Answer 1

The European countries that became mostly protestant are predominantly from Northern Europe like Latvia, Finland, Estonia, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Denmark; the religious map of Europe has changed remarkably little since the Reformation. Germany, for example, is a mainly a Protestant country, because of its leading role in the Reformation.
