File:The Protestant Reformation.svg
Summary
This map was made to spread awareness of how complex the Protestant Reformation really was.
This map shows the spread of Protestantism in its various forms at the high point of the Protestant Reformation. In 1545, it was first considered a serious threat to the Catholic Church and the Papacy at the Council of Trent, prompting counterreformational measures by Catholic religious hierarchy. In 1620, the Battle of White Mountain put an end to Protestantism in Bohemia (now the Czech Republic). The Thirty Years' War began in 1618 and brought a drastic territorial and demographic decline when the House of Hapsburg introduced counterreformational measures throughout their vast possessions in Central Europe.
This map is only approximate and inaccuracies may occur, especially in Germany (where religious situation was so complex it is nearly impossible to put it on a map without a significant effort).
It is based on various other religious maps depicting individual countries in Europe during 1545-1620.
