Protestant Reformation (jan 1, 1517 – jan 1, 1648)
Description:
A 16th-century religious, political, and intellectual movement in Europe that led to the establishment of Protestantism, a branch of Christianity separate from the Roman Catholic Church. Initiated by figures like Martin Luther, it challenged the authority of the Pope and the Catholic Church's teachings and practices. The Reformation was fueled by a desire for reform and a call for individuals to interpret the Bible directly.
