The Reformation and the rise of England (jan 1, 1500 – jan 1, 1620)
Description:
The Reformation, led by Martin Luther, introduces Protestantism to Europe. As a result, many (mostly Puritans) migrate to the Americas. At the same time, England begins to emerge as a European power (Spanish Armada and whatnot), which also leads to migration to the New World (due to population growth and more).
