Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The 1555 Peace of Augsburg established Lutheranism as a recognized alternative to Roman Catholicism in the Germanies, allowing for religious toleration and an end to religious warfare. Calvinism did not become dominant in northern Germany, Germany did not become highly centralized, Charles V did not reinforce control over the German princes, and the peace did not directly lead to French independence from the Holy Roman Empire.
