We shall have to trace the fortunes of the Reformation in the following countries :(1.) In Germany, where a temporary toleration was devised.(2.) In England, where the revolt from Rome was confirmed, and Protestant opinions were seen to be necessary to the political liberty of the country.(3.) In Scotland, where the people shook off Catholicism almost at once, and changed their old political attitude to agree with their new religious condition.(4.) In the Netherlands, where Protestantism fostered a desire for freedom, and supported the people in a long war against Spain.(5.) In France, where a long period of civil war was caused by religious differences, but, in the end, Catholicism proved itself to be more deeply rooted than Protestantism.Besides these occurrences in the separate countries we have to see how the struggle between Protestantism and Catholicism in Europe generally tended to centre round the two powers of England and Spain. The result of this struggle was that England began to take the foremost position in Europe, while Spain, though still wearing the appearance of outward strength, grew internally weaker and weaker.Nisyros Publishers has a proud history of publishing high quality and rare titles.
