3 marzo 1572 anni - St. Bartholomew's day Massacre

Descrizione:

This massacre in 1572 was wrought by the French Wars of Religion, and the increased tensions between the French Catholics and French Calvinists who called themselves the Huguenots. This illustrated the power the Catholic Church possessed at the time, and how their strong influence fueled discrimination against the Huguenots so openly. Led to major conflict and outbreaks among the people.
