The Reformation, beginning in the early 16th century, was a major religious movement in Europe. Sparked by figures like Martin Luther and spurred by the invention of the printing press, it challenged the Catholic Church’s authority. This led to the rise of Protestantism and significant changes in religion, politics, and society.
