Question

HELP!! IMPORTANT!!!!! What are 2 causes and 2 effects of =1566-Violence erupts between Calvinists and Catholics in the Netherlands?

Answer 1

The Catholics were being pulled in by the Spanish Habsburgs. The Habsburgs eventually got part of the Netherlands and turned it into Spanish Netherlands present day Belgium. The Dutch although religiously tolerant still had some hatred towards the Catholics and were scared of them at the same time.What caused violence between Calvinists and Catholics anywhere? Calvin hated Catholics and wherever he had influence people violently tore down Catholic churches and monasteries... often killing the inhabitants
Rioting erupted between the Calvinist poor and the rulers of the Netherlands, the Catholic monarchy in Spain. The riots occurred in the summer of 1566 – a time of high grain prices. In Antwerp, on six successive evenings, crowds armed with axes and sledgehammers went after things they claimed were of false doctrine. They destroyed a large part of the interior of Antwerp's Cathedral of Our Lady. They sacked over thirty churches, burned libraries and smashed sculptures and tombs.
