The Peace of Augsburg, signed in 1555, was a treaty that ended religious conflict in the Holy Roman Empire between Catholics and Protestants. It established the principle of "cuius regio, eius religio," meaning that the ruler of each state could determine whether it would be Catholic or Protestant. This strengthened secular rulers by giving them more power over religious matters within their own territories, allowing them to consolidate their authority and maintain control over their subjects.
