HELP WITH HOMEWORK.... How did both the Catholics and Lutherans violate the Peace of Augsburg?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.212.225.73 (talk • contribs)

This is probably too late for your homework (the above comment being added October 28, 2005)...however, for future reference, if you have a question along these lines, try asking here. Cheers!--24.58.164.194 17:53, 6 February 2006 (UTC)bnghghnheyyyy.[reply]

The lead sentence of paragraph 2 seems rather Catholic POV. "The effect of the treaty was to establish official toleration for Lutherans in the Holy Roman Empire." could equally be stated from the Lutheran POV: "The effect of the treaty was to establish toleration for Catholic princes and their estates in newly Lutheran regions of the Holy Roman Empire."

Maybe we could work on a compromise?--24.107.190.6 01:39, 1 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Date has to be wrong, it's after Charles V abdicates the thrown. I think 1555 is the correct date. Source: http://www.bartleby.com/65/au/AugsburgPc.html -- Trabisnikof

It is said here that two people were thrown out a window in the second defenestration of Prague ; however in the article dedicated to this event, it is seven people. The mistake is probably in the A. Peace's article but if someone is sure of it...

The Second Defenestration of Prague did involve only two men thrown out a window; however, the lesser known First Defenestration of Prague involved more than two men. I do not know the exact date but I believe it occurred in 1419. This is probably the confusion.

20th century nationalism?[edit]

Does this actually belong at all:

Some historians argue[citation needed] that this late unification as a nation-state led to the extreme German nationalism in the 19th and 20th centuries, and thus indirectly to World War I and World War II.

?

It's certainly true that perfectly respectable historians argue that, and you could easily dig up a citation, but it's also highly speculative and not directly related to Augsburg, which was just one in a long list of events contributing to German disunity.

I don't think this statement belongs on this page; events like the revolution of 1848 and the peace of westphalia also contributed to extreme nationalism the germans felt during the world wars. I can't find a citation, can anyone else? HHermans 17:00, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Clear Bias, Muddy Prose[edit]

'The Peace of Augsburg arrangement is also credited with ending much Christian unity around Europe. Before, the main religion was Roman Catholicism with a few practicers of Lutheranism.' These two statements have an extreme pro-Catholic tilt. They are also unsupported by citations and, quite simply, false. Christian unity had ended long before the Peace of Augsburg, as the preceding series of bloody wars made utterly clear. There were also far more than 'a few' practitioners of Lutheranism at the time. The prose suffers from a great deal of vagueness as well and reads like a high-school essay. 'Practitioners' is also spelled wrong. A writer who can't be bothered to spell check the work has no business tinkering with entries. RobotBoy66 (talk) 03:34, 27 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
