Answer 1

Answer:

Pope Leo X refuses to annul Henry  VIII's marriage to his first wife ---> England establishes its own church  separate from the Roman Catholic  Church.

During the 16th century, a political dispute between the king of England, Henry VIII, and Pope Leo X started due to the wish of the first to cancel his marriage. Since divorce was not allowed in the Roman Catholic Church the Pope refused to annul the king's marriage and, therefore, Henry VIII decided to abandon the link with the Roman Church and established a new one: the Anglican Church.

Martin Luther writes his Ninety-Five  Theses, criticizing some of the  church's practices. ---> A new religion formed in Germany  taught that salvation can be met  through faith alone.

Martin Luther was a German monk who at the beginning of the 16th century started the Protestant Reform by writing and hanging the Ninety-Five  Theses in the door of the church of Wittenberg. In those theses, he said, among other things and based in a Bible's passage, that salvation can be met through faith alone. The new religion that took shape after that was Lutheranism.

Holy Roman emperor Charles V  declares war on Protestants in  Germany.    ---> The rulers of Germany's territories  were free to decide the religion of  their state.

After Charles V was crowned as Holy Roman emperor by the Pope in 1530, he wanted to reunite the Christianity -Catholics and Lutherans- in order to safeguard the Christian European unity against the Ottomans. After many years of war between Catholics and Protestants, Charles V signed the Peace of Augsburg in 1555, which granted the German princes the right to choose their own religion.

Elizabeth I, a Protestant who was  tolerant of Catholics, became the  queen of England.--->The Anglican church was reestablished  in England.

When Elizabeth I assumed to the throne in the mid-16th century, England was divided by religious struggles between Catholics and Protestants. She supported the Protestant cause and reestablished the Church of England's independence from Rome.
