ANALYZING MAPS
1. Place What countries in Europe were mainly Catholic?
2. Location What two churches were found in France?
3. Movement Based on the map, what may have prevented the Anglican Church
from spreading beyond England?
4. Human/Environment Interaction King Henry IV of France issued the Edict of
Nantes, which guaranteed freedom of worship in France. In your opinion, what
religions may have existed in Spain following the Reformation if the Spanish
leaders had passed a document similar to the Edict of Nantes?
