The founding of Protestantism has its origins in the [[European]] [[Reformation]]. <br>
Most notably :
:[[Martin Luther]]'s nailing of [[The 95 Theses]] to the church doors in [[Wittenberg]] on October 31, 1517
:In [[England]], by decree of King [[Henry VIII]] in 1533.
:[[John Knox]], inspired by [[John Calvin]], liberated [[Scotland]] from the yoke of [[Roman Catholic Church|Rome]] in 1560.
