Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Peace of Westphalia ended the Thirty Years War and recognized the sovereignty of individual states within the Holy Roman Empire. This meant that each state could decide its own religious affiliation and practice, leading to the loss of unity within the empire. However, the empire as a whole did not officially become either Protestant or Catholic.
