The Reformation

The Reformation was a significant religious movement in the 16th century that sought to challenge and reform the practices of the Roman Catholic Church. Initiated by figures like Martin Luther, who famously posted his Ninety-Five Theses in 1517, the Reformation led to the establishment of Protestant churches and a decline in the Catholic Church's authority.

This period was marked by debates over salvation, the interpretation of the Bible, and the role of faith, ultimately reshaping the religious landscape of Europe and sparking further social and political changes.
