Detailed explanation-1: -Answer. Answer: 100 years war and black death is not a cause of reformation.
Detailed explanation-2: -Key events of the period include: Diet of Worms (1521), formation of the Lutheran Duchy of Prussia (1525), English Reformation (1529 onwards), the Council of Trent (1545–63), the Peace of Augsburg (1555), the excommunication of Elizabeth I (1570), Edict of Nantes (1598) and Peace of Westphalia (1648).
Detailed explanation-3: -The Protestant Reformation changed many things, but one thing it did not change was the substance of Christendom. Christendom was the alliance between the church and the state.
Detailed explanation-4: -The reformation was caused due to the grievances that the people had towards the unjust practices of the Church, like collecting various fees in the name of the Church. The monarch also felt that the Church was interfering in the ruling and decision-making by the royal head.
Detailed explanation-5: -In addition to indulgences, the 95 Theses pointed out other problems as well. These problems included priests not being well educated and some of the higher leaders in the Church being corrupt. In addition, Luther stated that the Pope himself had too much power over the Church and politics.
