The Reformation became one of the most significant events in European history. What began as the protest of a single German monk—Martin Luther—quickly turned into a religious, political, and social upheaval. In this video, we explore how the Ninety-Five Theses nailed to the church door in Wittenberg sparked a fire that split Europe into Catholics and Protestants.
You’ll see how the Reformation transformed the Holy Roman Empire, triggered the Knights’ Revolt and the Peasants’ War, launched the Schmalkaldic War, and influenced England, France, Switzerland, and Rus’. We’ll explain how Martin Luther translated the Bible, how Lutheranism was born, and how the Catholic Church responded with the Counter-Reformation, the Council of Trent, and persecution.
This is a story of ideas people were burned for, and of faith people died for. A story of how religion became politics, and reform became war. And how Germany became the epicenter of a religious schism that redrew the map of Europe and changed the course of history.
