The Protestant Reformation refers to a European religious movement dedicated to changing the corrupt ways of the Christian faith by the establishment of new, "better" branches of Catholicism. It began when Martin Luther, a monk, nailed his 95 Theses (a list of 95 grievances he had with the Catholic faith) to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany, and ended with the Peace of Westphalia that concluded over a hundred years of religious war.
