hey, theghul, the Reformation was started by differing religious views. Martin Luther posted his 95 Thesis on the door of a church who's name escapes me. This wasn't a new idea, tons of people have done it before him, but because of the new printing press the thesis was spread throughout Europe at a rapid pace and caused big problems with both the Catholic church and the monarchy. The government and church didn't want anybody getting any ideas and to stop following them. This made Luther, and a lot of other Europeans, mad at the church and realize they were right to be doing what they were doing. So bassicly it was started by religion, but made a big deal by polotics, the economy, and new technology. Tell me if this helps

The basic concept is easy enough - its assinilating and analysing the details that are the issue.

ok the 6 main causes are
- humanism stimulates learning and return to original source
-impact of the printing press
-crisis of faith/ serach for the true meaning of Christianity
-towns local rulers oppose increasing political centralisation
-popular resentment of clerical taxe, coroption, indulgences
- church suppression of dissidents as heretics



and that was the basic causes of the protestant reformation
