The correct answer is B. Religious conflict between Catholics and Protestants in Europe.The Thirty Years' War was a protracted and devastating conflict that took place in Europe from 1618 to 1648. It was primarily sparked by religious tensions and conflicts between Catholics and Protestants in the Holy Roman Empire.The war began as a religious conflict between Catholic and Protestant factions within the Holy Roman Empire, which was a multi-ethnic and multi-religious political entity at the time. The immediate trigger for the war was the Defenestration of Prague in 1618, where Protestant nobles threw two Catholic imperial governors out of a window, leading to a declaration of war by the Catholic Emperor Ferdinand II.The war quickly escalated into a broader conflict involving various European powers, including Spain, France, Sweden, Denmark, and others. The religious dimension of the conflict was central, as both Catholic and Protestant forces sought to assert their dominance and influence within the Holy Roman Empire.While the war also had political and territorial dimensions, the religious tensions and conflicts between Catholics and Protestants were the primary driving force behind the outbreak and prolongation of the conflict. The war ultimately ended with the Peace of Westphalia in 1648, which recognized the independence of the Dutch Republic and Switzerland and established a new political and religious order in Europe.
