Early Modern Europe
Early modern Europe is the term used to describe the period of European history from the Middle Ages to the Industrial Revolution. Early modern Europe is thought to have been defined by the development of the printing press with moveable type. The conclusion of the War of the Roses in 1453 was another milestone. Early modern Europe's emergence was affirmed by the rise of the Ottoman Empire and the Papal States. All of the European nations underwent profound change. Both political and religious authority coexist in the Holy Roman Empire. The Pope has sway over both politics and religion. The leader in Elizabethan England had less status than the monarch. Queen Elizabeth was both the head of the supreme governor and the church leader. In France, religion is divided into different states in France.
Martin Luther King and the Reformation
Martin Luther King challenged the papal leadership and the political and religious power redistribution. This reform led to a rise of prosecutions and wars in various places. The political landscape was transformed, and the thinking of people towards family and marriage was changed, and this continued to be the attitude most people up to today. The Catholic Church was against the scientific reforms because it was contradicting the Bible and as a result, Galileo Galilee was in trouble with the church explaining the concept.
The Impact of the Reformation

Martin came up with doctrines and principles that guided the churches in Germany, and as a result, there was an establishment of new churches such. There was also rise in industrialization and urbanization due to political and scientific reforms.
The Glorious Revolution and Enlightenment

On the other hand, enlightenment made significant changes in the ways of embracing philosophies and the way people think.
