oct 31, 1517 - Martin Luther writes 95 Thesis
Description:
When Martin Luther wrote the 95 Theses, he wanted to spark a debate within the Catholic Church about the sale of indulgences. What instead happened was the creation of multiple sects within Christianity, some countries splitting from the church, and a long series of wars that threw Europe into chaos for a few decades. The resulting ideas and alliginces forever weakened the church, as it was no longer the dominant power in Europe.Added to timeline:
