The Peace of Augsburg in 1555, not 1546, was a significant treaty that aimed to resolve the religious conflicts between Catholics and Protestants in the Holy Roman Empire. It established the principle of "cuius regio, eius religio," allowing rulers to determine the official religion of their own territories, thereby granting legal recognition to Lutheranism alongside Catholicism. This agreement brought a temporary halt to religious warfare in the Empire but did not resolve underlying tensions, leading to further conflicts in subsequent decades.
