Yes.
It is a coincidence that the Swedish revolt against the Danes coincided with the Lutheran
revolt in Germany. Vasa's goal was royal supremacy and not a new faith. He opposed the
Lutheran reforms, but seeing the economic and state power that reform brought he was to
change his mind, since he wished to centralise the administration and concentrate all power in
his own hands.
When Vasa took power the land in Sweden was divided as follows:
Church 20%, Nobility 20%, Farmers 50%, Crown 6.25%
The Dominicans, a religious group, who offered a strong opposition to Vasa's plans, were
banished from the kingdom, and the bishops who resisted were subjected to all kinds of
oppression. After a religious debate at the University of Uppsala, the king gave the victory to
Olaf Peterson, who had studied at Wittenberg and had accepted Luther's teaching. Vasa
proceeded to Lutheranize the university, to take away religious property, and to employ every
means to make the clergy to accept the new doctrine. A popular rebellion gave him an
opportunity of accusing the Catholic bishops of high treason, and in 1527 the Archbishop of
Upsala and the Bishop of Västerås were executed.

How did France's goals in North America differ from those of the European nations during the Protestant Reformation?
Well, many nations wanted to explore and profit from trade in the new world. The French specifically wanted to use America to sell fur and make a profit from it, and they explored and settled large tracts of land. However, because of the Protestant Reformation, the edict of Fontainebleau, and the intolerance of Huguenots, many French were also fleeing France for the same reason that people were fleeing England. Religious intolerance brought many, many people to the Americas.
