Consequence
Protestant rebellions led to the
creation of the Presbyterian Church
which was governed by “councils of
men”
King Henry 8th desired to control
wealth. Couldn’t do this with the
Roman Catholic Church. The newly
formed Anglican Church allowed him
to control the property of the church.
Only Roman Catholicism was allowed.
The Inquisition was ordered to
persecute any who would not follow
Roman Catholicism
“Calvinism” is the belief that people
should believe and practice
according the bible. Moral code,
church and state should not be
separated
After a long battle of over 40 years
those persecuted from following
another religion were granted
freedom of worship in 1598



The Protestant
Reformation is evidence
of the new flow of ideas
across Europe.
This new division
between religions would
often lead to political
support of state causes.
By the end of the
renaissance the drive to
practice any religion
would unite people and
further the creation of
countries.

The exploration developed
knowledge of geography,
trading systems and history.
It also introduced the world to
civilizations that were
previously thought of as nonexistent.
Ideas about personal freedom,
leadership & government and
wealth became extremely
important.
This new found wealth from
imperialism brought more
change to Europe.
Soon, with more and more
money there was inflation
which occurred throughout
Europe.
