Answer 2

Oh, dude, so like, Luther's ideas were all about questioning authority and stuff, right? And these German peasants were like, "Hey, maybe we should question the authority of the nobles too!" So, they were all inspired by Luther to stand up for themselves and demand better treatment. Like, it was a whole rebellious vibe, man.

Answer 3

Martin Luther's ideas encouraged German peasants to revolt because his teachings challenged the authority of the Catholic Church and promoted individual interpretation of The Bible. This led to increased awareness of social injustices and inequality among the peasants, who saw an opportunity to demand better treatment and rights. Additionally, Luther's emphasis on the priesthood of all believers inspired the peasants to seek greater autonomy and freedom from oppressive feudal systems.

Answer 4

Luther beieved in personal faith, he made the bible in a langauge that the uneducated could read

Indulgences were making the peasants poorer and not doing anything, so told the peasants not to buy them

Answer 5

Luther's debate with the pope was so famous that even peasants in the countryside had heard about it. They liked what they heard about Luther. The life of a peasant had always been hard, but in the 1520s, it was terrible. The crops had been poor for several years. On top of that, noble landowners increased the taxes that peasants had to pay. Because of their suffering, Luther's ideas stirred the peasants to revolt. If Luther had a right to rebel against an unjust pope, then the peasants must have a right to stand up to greedy nobles. The peasants began by listing their demands. Like Luther, they based their ideas on the Bible. One leader said the peasants would no longer work for the nobles, "unless it should be shown us from the Gospel that we are serfs."

Answer 6

Because the church officials got angry at him because they knew that they would get less money is they listen to him and the people that agreed with luther would not pay for the indulgences and stuff.
