Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Peace of Augsburg gave each ruler the power to determine which religion would be allowed on his territory, thereby ending religious violence by allowing each region to have their own religious practices. It did not give individuals the freedom to practice the religion of their choice anywhere they wished, nor did it enforce a ban on Protestantism or resolve the differences between Catholicism and Protestantism. It also did not involve disarming the Holy Roman Empire.
