Best Answer

The first half of the 17th century was marked by wars of religion between Protestants and Catholics. Most notably was the Thirty Years War that raged in The Holy Roman Empire, an area what is now Germany, from 1618 to 1648. Some regions in the world, such as America, became a safe haven for Catholics fleeing from the persecution by the Protestants in Europe. In England however, the law requires that every citizen must become a member of the Church of England which follows the Christian religious ways.
