The Protestant Reformation (1 janv. 1517 – 1 janv. 1555)

Description:

Began in 1517, when Martin Luther, a teacher, published a document he called Disputation on the Power of Indulgences or 95 Theses.

A religious reform movement that resulted in the creation of a branch of Christianity called Protestantism, a name used collectively to refer to the many religious groups that separated from the Roman Catholic Church due to differences in doctrine.

Ultimately the Protestant Reformation led to modern democracy, skepticism, capitalism, individualism, civil rights, and many of the modern values we cherish today. The Protestant Reformation increased literacy throughout Europe and ignited a renewed passion for education.
