The Catholic Church is mired in corruption by the 16th century.In 1517 Martin Luther publishes his 95 Point Thesis at Wittenberg, starting the Protestant Reformation. He is summoned to the Diet of Worms, where Charles V declares him an outlaw. Along comes Frederick III of Saxony, Luther's prince to save him. The Magisterial Reformation succeeds not only in Germany, but in Sweden and Denmark too. The French and the English Reformations also start, but end with mixed results. Another consequence of the Reformation is the Knights Revolt and the Peasants War.
In 1521 Huldrych Zwingli enters the scene, introducing Protestantism to Switzerland. Groups of Anabaptists also emerge in Zürich. The Swiss Reformation continues with John Calvin.The Calvinist Reformation is particularly successful in France and the Low Countries, putting them on a collision course with the Catholic Counter-Reformation.
The Schmalkaldic war between Charles V and the Lutheran princes starts in 1541, but the Protestants are crushed at the Battle of Mühlberg. Charles is forced to grant religious freedom at the Peace of Augsburg in 1555, but as confessionalism takes hold over Europe, Catholics are on a crash course with Protestants...

    Hi there! This is the all episodes version of my previous series. From now on I will do all parts videos for each of my series. That is for all except the Portuguese Empire and the Italian Wars. I plan to completely redo those ONCE running this channel becomes worthwhile $$$. Say the Portuguese at 20K subs and the Itw at 50K :D The last episode of the Spanish Empire will air in a week and my new series on John Hunyadi - comprising 3 episodes on: the Battle of Varna, 2nd Kosovo and the Siege of Belgrade will start 2 weeks from now.

    Can't wait for the episodes about Hunyadi! I absolutely love the channel and its content. If you would accept this, I can offer my help with the episode about the crusade of Varna in 1444 (although your content is so well researched that I don't know if I can offer much). As a historian I'm studying the later crusades in the Balkans and as a Bulgarian (from Varna :D ) I can help with a lot of literature, especially source books on the topic and the achievements of Bulgarian scholars, since the Balkan crusades are well researched here. Keep up the good work!

    Catholic, meaning universal, had captivated minds and souls as figure heads of corruption in the middle ages, reformers with faith in God and the bible challenged the authority and rule of the Vatican through the call of the Reformation and the subsequent separation from the Roman dogma which insists adversely to Scriptures, claimed the reformers until today.

    This is becoming one of my favorite channels for history. I always overlooked the 15th,16th, and 17th centuries when I studied history but you have made me a lot more interested in this period (I think because growing up in school in the US we only learned about North America, and nothing about what was going on in the old world for the most part somewhat turned me off from looking deeper into this period)

    This is good but really broad strokes, I guess it needs to be for broad interest. The fact that most Cardinals and bishops were nobles was precisely because princes' had regional control of their churches. While Luther's reforms were and are a good thing for the church, the majority of the effort to curtail the power of the church wasn't the sale of indulgences but rather Princes seizing her tithes and church property. We saw it happen in all the protestant principalities immediately seizing church property and denying to send the church it's due. Money that was used to house the poor feed the hungry shelter the homeless and paint the Sistene Chapel and some less savory things to say nothing of keeping the Ottoman at bay. While the church eventually adopts many of Luther's reforms let's not pretend the reformation wasn't about rich men seizing more wealth for themselves.

    With every major conflict there are multiple motivations on multiple levels. There is no such thing as a major conflict that was motivated by a single thing. Of course some "historians" in the Anglo-American sphere like to profess this (most notably in regards to the Civil War being solely motivated by the question of slavery!). Maybe I should explain this in more detail...

    A nice synthesis, thanks. However, as someone educated by the Jesuits, I'm positive that the version on how Eneko Loiola (Íñigo de Loyola, not yet renamed as Ignatius) got his inspiration is wrong: been told the story many times from different people, many of them Jesuit priests, and it's always that, when recovering from his wounds, he read many books of lives of saints and was inspired by them. No divine visions whatsoever, much less for eight whole days. Otherwise all sounds legit to me.

    small piece of advice: I would not label the parts of your series with numbers, even if they are part of a larger series. You will get more views if you only put "series name - big event" in the title. That way, curious browsers will click on it even if they haven't seen the earlier parts.

    John Hus wasn't ''lured'' at Constance. He went there, John XXIII and lift his excommunication and told him not to preach in public while in Constance. John Hus didn't do so and was arrested. But even then, he was assigned in a monastery for several weeks before his trial. And when trialed, he has been offered many times to recant his errors. He refused. Sadly
