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.

.

Wikipedia lists the following as connected directly to the protestant revolt:

Conflicts immediately connected with the "Reformation" of the 1520s to 1540s:

The German Peasants' War (1524-1525)

The battle of Kappel in Switzerland (1531)

The Schmalkaldic War (1546-1547) in the Holy Roman Empire

The Eighty Years' War (1568-1648) in the Low Countries

The French Wars of Religion (1562-1598)

The Thirty Years War (1618-1648), affecting the Holy Roman Empire including Habsburg Austria and Bohemia, France, Denmark and Sweden

The Wars of the Three Kingdoms (1639-1651), affecting England, Scotland and Ireland

Scottish Reformation and Civil Wars

English Reformation and Civil War

Irish Confederate Wars and the Cromwellian conquest of Ireland

.

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.
