Description
The Reformation had a great impact on the peasants of Germany, providing a pretext for liberation from the oppression of the nobility and landlords. Large-scale peasant uprisings broke out in Swabia, Franconia, Thuringia, and the Rhine. Hundreds of thousands of poorly organised commoners fell at the hands of the armies of the nobility. Large areas were devastated, and the unrest was condemned by the leaders of the Reformation.Actions

Action A of 100 - Reformation for all countriesDescription
After receiving checked for heresy and forwarded Luther's letter, Leo X responded over the next three years, ''with great care as is proper,'' by deploying a series of papal theologians and envoys against Luther. Perhaps he hoped the matter would die down of its own accord, because in 1518 he dismissed Luther as ''a drunken German'' who ''when sober will change his mind''.Actions
A. Luther will change his mind...
