Causes Social: humanism led people to ? Church and printing press Political: monarchs challenging churches and popes power Economic: King jealous of churches wealth and Merchants angry with paying church tax Religious: Leaders corrupt and didn’t like leaders actions (drinking, having kids and poorly educational) or selling indulgences (pardons)

Martin Luther Started in Germany Wrote the 95 Theses criticizing a friar Johann Tetzel for selling indulgence; thus buying his w ay into heaven This lead to the Reformation movement

Luther’s 3 main ideas/teachings 1) People win salvation only by good work and God’s forgiveness 2) All teachings should be based from the Bible 3) All people of faith were equal Luther was shocked how quickly his ideas spread

Consequences Luther was threatened excommunication from church if he didn’t take back his statement Luther was cheered as he threw the threat in the fire; thus was excommunicated Stood trial, declared an outlaw, and books burned None of this mattered because is words were already out and even created a separate religion called Lutherans

Germany divided Some German princes supported the church and some didn’t (became known as protestant) This bringing Germany into a war End result: Peace of Augsburg: decided each ruler could decide the religion of his state

England becomes Protestant Henry VII wanted a son and his 42 year wife was done have kids with only one daughter, Mary = wants an annulment; pope refused Had parliament end pope’s power, married Anne Boleyn and basically took power away from the Pope by removing the Church of England from Rome’s authority

Henry’s Consequences Anne gave birth to a daughter Elizabeth 3rd wife gave birth to a son Edward and died two weeks later Next three wives produced no kids Henry dies and Edward (protestant) rules at the age of nine to 15 with Mary taking over (Catholic) then she dies and Elizabeth takes the throne (protestant)

Effect of the Protestant Reformation By taking power away from the church it strengthen the power of the Monarchies (Kings)
