Detailed explanation-1: -In spite of its shortcomings, the Peace of Augsburg saved the empire from serious internal conflicts for more than 50 years, and Germany thus emerged from the 16th century as a religiously divided country.
Detailed explanation-2: -The cause of the Peace of Augsburg was popular desire to resolve the religious dispute between Lutheran and Catholic rulers within the Holy Roman Empire. The treaty was signed in September 1555 and was agreed between Catholic and Lutheran princes in the empire.
