During the 1500-1700’s, while the Protestant Reformation was happening in Germany and Northern Europe, Monarchs in Europe were expanding their power over the state and economy. As Spain, Portugal, France, England, and the Netherlands ventured around the world in the Age of Exploration, they gained control over vast resources in their colonies that funded the Monarch’s control back in Europe. For this reason, many many commoners and wealth used religion as means to resist the political and cultural change happening in Europe. THESIS During the 1500-1700’s, while the Protestant Reformation was happening in Germany and Northern Europe, the growth of the European economy both internally and externally (due to the Age of Exploration and colonial resources) spurred the growth the cities. Although the family unit remained the center of life, new capitalist models among the traditional medieval structures, created tension in the European social and cultural life. This tension is reflected in the struggle between the traditional Catholic church and the less structured Protestant ideology that appealed to the masses. THESIS
