neutrality
As the war in Europe erupted in 1914, the President of the United States, Woodrow Wilson, proclaimed an official policy of neutrality in regard to the war. That policy was hard to maintain, however, because the warring parties in Europe were battling over the seas and this affected shipping coming from the United States. Britain had blockaded Germany, and the Germans had responded by launching submarine (U-boat) warfare against vessels coming to deliver supplies to Britain. When the passenger liner <em>Lusitania </em>was sunk by the Germans in 1915, killing over 1,000 people including 120 Americans, the USA was almost drawn into the war at that point.

Explanation:
One of the most important events was the Peace of Augsburg in 1555.
This was a peace treaty signed by Charles V, Holy Roman emperor at the time, and princes within the Holy Roman empire that were members of the Schmalkaldic league. This league consisted of princes that supported Lutheranism. This event was one of the main events of the Reformation and caused a serious religious division within the empire. Local princes were now allowed to choose between Catholicism and Lutheranism and this meant that the division in the Catholic church had spread to the top levels. The main principle of the treaty was “cuius regio, eius religio”. This translates to “Whose realm, his religion” and meant that the ruler of a certain area could decide which religion was practiced in that area (even though the choice was only between Catholicism and Lutheranism). This treaty was a political one as much as a religious one. Now, princes and other local rulers could choose Lutheranism if they had a quarrel with the pope or a Catholic king.
