- The Protestant Reformation was when the Christian church in Europe split into Catholics and Protestants. Martin Luther began the split in 1517 when he presented the "95 Theses". The Church split because of differences of opinions dealing with indulgences. In 1520, Pope Leo X excommunicated Martin Luther after he refused to recant his statements.

- The Protestant Reformation began after Martin Luther nailed the 95 Theses to the door of Wittenberg Castle Church in Germany. Many people began to go to newly formed Protestant Churches since they were "Protesting" the Catholic practice of indulgences. They also believed that people could have a direct relationship with God and did not need a priest or the Pope.
