   How the empire divided

   With cards in time order: [1] 1526: at the Diet of Speyer, the empire's rulers agree that each prince and city may practice religion as it sees fit until a general council settles the questions; [2] 1529: a second Diet of Speyer cancels that agreement; [3] 1530: at the Diet of Augsburg, Lutheran princes present their statement of belief, the Augsburg Confession; the Catholic side answers with the Confutation; [4] 1555: the Peace of Augsburg lets rulers in the empire choose Lutheranism or Catholicism for their lands; no other faith is included; [5] 1618–1648: the Thirty Years' War is fought mostly in the German lands by Catholic and Protestant states; [6] 1648: the Peace of Westphalia ends the war and sets the independence of the nearly one thousand states of the empire. Arrows (this made the next one possible): 1 → 2, 2 → 3, 4 → 5, 5 → 6. Below the strip: there is no arrow from 1530 to 1555, because the strip does not show that one led to the other. Lutherans teach that people are saved by faith alone.
