What did the peace of augsburg accomplish
The Peace of Augsburg, signed in 1555, was a treaty between Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, and the forces of the Schmalkaldic League, a group of Protestant princes in the German territories. The treaty ended the religious conflict between Catholics and Protestants in the Holy Roman Empire and established the principle of "cuius regio, eius religio" or "whose realm, his religion," meaning that the ruler of each state in the Holy Roman Empire could determine whether their territory would be Catholic or Lutheran.
The Peace of Augsburg marked the first time in European history that an official settlement was reached to recognize the rights of Protestants alongside Catholics. It provided a temporary solution to the religious conflicts in the Holy Roman Empire and helped to prevent further war between Catholic and Protestant states for several decades. However, it did not address the presence of other Protestant denominations such as Calvinism, which would eventually lead to further conflicts in the Thirty Years' War.
