-==History==
-{{Section}}
-===Lutherans===
-The '''Lutherans''' were the first major protestant group. It's named after [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther Martin Luther] , a [[catholic]] priest who preached a doctrine he believed to be closer to biblical doctrine. His most prominent work "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ninety-Five_Theses The Ninety-Five Theses]" was written in 1517; three years later in 1521 with the Edict of Worms he was excommunicated and branded a heretic by the Catholic Church.
-The first King to openly declare himself a Lutheran was [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_III_of_Denmark Christian III of Denmark] , following his victory in the short civil war in 1537. The German states of electorate states of [[Saxony]], [[Hesse]] and the [[Rhineland|Electoral Palatinate of the Rhine]] created the first Lutheran Military institution, the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schmalkaldic_League Schmalkaldic League]; the union was short lived only lasting 10 months until it was crushed by the Holy Roman Empire in the Summer of 1547. In the aftermath of the bloody [[30 Years War]] Lutheranism was finally freed from [[Austria (Empire: Total War)|Habsburg]] oppression of the [[Holy Roman Empire]] the Northern German states of [[Hanover (Empire: Total War)|Hanover]], Oldenburg, [[Saxony (Empire: Total War)|Saxony]] and Baden all decleared themselves as Lutheran.
+===[[Shogun: Total War]]===
-Ingame all north German and Scandinavian protestant factions are historically Lutheran. Lutheran Christianity persists as a majority in many of these nations today - Denmark, Iceland, Norway and Finland are all legally Lutheran States.
+The [[Dutch Traders]] in the original ''[[Shogun: Total War]]'' are Protestants, meaning that any [[Japan]]ese clan that agrees to [[trade]] with them doesn't have to convert, unlike the [[Catholic]] [[Portuguese Traders]] that precede them.
+Initially Protestant factions include:
-===Anglicians===
-The other prominent Protestant Church is '''Anglicanism'''. Unlike the others, born in theological debate and dissidence, Anglicanism was an idea created by the British King Regent [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_VIII_of_England Henry VIII]. It is the doctrine that the Crown should by autonomous of the powers of the [[Papal States]]; unlike in other Protestant Churches the Anglican Church makes the monarch the dictator of faith just as Catholics in regards to the [[Pope]]. For this reason, in at least the early years, Anglicanism although a heresy was largely seen as Catholic in it's liturgy.
+*[[Dutch Traders]]
-Anglicanism is seen as the contributing to many rebellions and bloodshed across the British Isles. The Jacobite rebellions and [[Ireland (Empire: Total War)#History |Irr]] were particularly brutal due to venomous rejection of Anglicanism. One of the main reasons [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_I_of_England Charles I of Great Britian] lost [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_Civil_War the civil war] was simply because he was a Catholic.
+===[[Empire: Total War]]===
-Anglicanism persists today and remains the state religion in Britain and many of it's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglican_Communion Commonwealth dependencies].
+Protestant populations generally get along well with Catholic rulers and vice versa. However, religious unrest is much higher for a Muslim population/Protestant ruler or vice versa.
-===Others===
-There were many other smaller Reformist Churches: the Baptists, Calvinists and Anabaptist but none had the same predominance in Western European Politics as the above.
