All of the following are examples of how the Catholic/Protestant split led to political rivalries and wars in Europe, except:
A. The Holy Roman Emperor led Catholic forces against a league of Protestant states.
B. Fighting broke out between the Catholics and the Huguenots in France many times.
C. Catholic Spain forced the Netherlands to convert to Catholicism and remain under Spanish rule.
D. Some rulers chose to break away from the Catholic Church in order to seize land.
Answer (2)
C. Catholic Spain forced the Netherlands to convert to Catholicism and remain under Spanish rule. ;
The answer is C, as it inaccurately states that Catholic Spain forced the Netherlands to convert to Catholicism. Instead, the Netherlands rebelled against Spanish rule due to enforced Catholicism, leading to their independence. The other options accurately reflect the conflicts resulting from the Catholic-Protestant split in Europe.
