Between Charles V and the forces of the Schmalkaldic League.
The Schmalkaldic Wars were primarily fueled by religious tensions stemming from the Protestant Reformation, particularly the rise of Lutheranism. The Schmalkaldic League, formed by Protestant princes, sought to defend their rights and beliefs against the Catholic Emperor Charles V, who aimed to restore Catholic unity in the Holy Roman Empire. Political and territorial ambitions also played a role, as both sides sought to expand their influence. Ultimately, the wars highlighted the deep divisions within the empire between Protestant and Catholic states.

The Holy Roman Emperor, Charles V, went to war against Protestant German princes primarily to maintain religious unity and authority within his empire. The rise of Protestantism threatened the Catholic Church's influence and undermined the emperor's power. In 1546, he launched the Schmalkaldic War to suppress the Protestant League, seeking to reassert Catholic dominance and enforce the Edict of Worms, which condemned Martin Luther and his teachings. Ultimately, the conflict highlighted the deep religious and political divisions within the empire.

Charles V played a crucial role in European affairs during the 16th century as the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Spain. He presided over a vast empire that included territories in Europe, the Americas, and parts of Asia, which made him a central figure in the struggle between Catholic and Protestant states during the Reformation. His attempts to maintain Catholic hegemony led to conflicts such as the Schmalkaldic War and the Peace of Augsburg. Additionally, he faced external threats from the Ottoman Empire, which influenced his foreign policy and military engagements.
There was not just one war between Catholics and protestants over religion, there were many over a long period of time in different countries, so you would have to be more specific to get any kind of meaningful answer. .

Although later wars such as the Nine Years' War (1688-97) had a religious component that was important locally in some arenas, they were more fundamentally undertaken for political reasons, with coalitions forming across religious divisions. Purely political motivations, and cross-religious alliances were also significant in many of the earlier wars.
