The Treaty of Augsburg, signed in 1555, was a significant agreement in the Holy Roman Empire that aimed to resolve conflicts between Protestant and Catholic states. It established the principle of "cuius regio, eius religio," allowing each ruler to determine the religion of their own state, thereby granting legal recognition to Lutheranism alongside Catholicism. This treaty helped to stabilize religious tensions for a time but ultimately did not resolve the deeper conflicts that would continue in Europe. It marked an important step in the development of religious tolerance and the political landscape of the Reformation era.
