The violence escalated, and this is why British Troops were sent to the area to maintain the peace. The struggle between Irish Catholics and Irish Protestants had a long-term history. The Nationalist’s wanted an Independent Ireland but their rebellion, the Easter Rising on 1916, failed because the British quickly defeated them. It was difficult to control the situation as hundreds of constables were resigning because they feared for their lives. Both sides were constantly gunning down innocent people.
St. Bartholomew’s Day Massacre The St. Bartholomew’s Day massacre was the assassinations of several leading, and killings of thousands of common folk Huguenots in Paris, followed by numerous mob attacks throughout France by the Catholics. The St. Bartholomew’s Day massacre took place in 1572 during the French Wars of Revolution when Charles IX was the king of France. Huguenots were French Protestants who followed the teachings of John Calvin (1509-64). John Calvin was a French theologian and pastor during the Protestant Reformation who opened the first Huguenot church in Paris (1555), and influenced the shape of Calvinism. Calvin was a strong influence on French Protestants because of his, “education and implementation of doctrine; second, his experience of cooperation and conflict with urban authorities; and finally, his formation as a religious refugee,” (Kümin, 109).

During the 16th century, the Protestant Reformation took place. The reformation caused a split within Western Christianity, which was started by a few famous Protestants. These reformers protested against the doctrines, rules, and rituals of the Roman Catholic Church. After much protesting, the reformers created new national Protestant churches. Many factors led to the rise of Protestantism, for example, events like the Black Death and the Western Schism.
Dadaism and Surrealism Art Movements| | Barbara D Gentry| 11/13/2013| History of the art movements of Dada and Surrealism| The years between 1914 and 1918 were tumultuous ones. The world had broken out in a full scale war, beginning in Europe, with the assassination of the extremely disliked Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the Archduke of Austria Hungary, and his wife. The assassination was merely the catalyst to the mounting political tensions in Europe at that time. Many of Europe’s artists were horrified by slaughters being committed on a daily basis in the name of war and the social injustice they perceived, by the middle and upper class citizens. Furthermore, they were disgusted by the relentless quest to acquire more land and money by the various European nations.
A few of the bad sides of religion include the way that different religions get stereotyped into the most terrible side of extremists. Another example of the past negativity the church has had in the past is the many crusades the church went on in order to force their outlook on the masses of Europe. There has also been many counts of corruption stemming from the Vatican all the way back to the beginning of the biblical era. Lastly the church has the ability to bring out the vilest sides of some people that turn into extreme groups that castigate and have even killed the people that didn’t follow their norms. The church we are talking about in this context is more the organized institution of church and not the sanctuaries some people confide in or, the community that the Sunday sermon can bring to people.
Causes of the Reformation The sixteenth century was a time when the acts and teachings of all religions came under a great amount of analysis. As a result, there was a great division from the dominant Roman Catholic Church; this was known as the Protestant Reformation. There were many factors in the coming of the Reformation, but the three worthy of note are the corruption of the Roman Catholic Church, the leadership of Martin Luther, and the invention of the printing press. The Roman Catholic Church was a strong force in sixteenth century Europe and as such became overly rapacious in its desire for both political and economical power. Under Pope Leo X the church began the sale of indulgences in Mainz, Germany.

The European continent was going through a period of upheaval as famine, disease and war ravaged the population. During such trying times you would expect people to turn to their faith and church all the more. However during this time the Catholic Church was to a large extent going through its own crisis. Starting with the conflict between Pope Boniface VIII and King Philip IV of France in 1296 that launched a period of papal uncertainty that lasted well into the 15th century. This uncertainty at the head of the church created divisions in Christendom that would last for a long time, divisions that would sow the seeds of the reformation, increase strength of national churches and lead the way to the creation of The Church of England.
