The Wars of religion primarily took place in the European region, the countries that were involved in the Wars of Religion include present day France, Germany, Austria and multiple others. The Wars of Religion took place from roughly 1524 to 1648, these wars were waged in the Northern and Western regions of Europe partially due to Protestant Reformation. There was not much religious tolerance during this time and the idea of changing what was already known was considered heresy and new ideas would lead to anarchy and destruction. Throughout this time period changes in military tactics took place. During the beginning of the Wars of Religion the wars that took place between the armies were nothing more than pillaging hordes of men fighting.
