		The Peace of Augsburg was unraveling throughout the second half of the century since converted bishops had not given up their bishoprics; Calvinism was spreading throughout Germany, which added yet another religion to the region; the Catholics of eastern Europe (Poland and Austrian Habsburgs) were trying to restore the power of Catholicism.
		The Habsburgs were primarily interested in extending their power, so they were sometimes prepared to work with the Protestants, which made tensions greater.
		The Thirty Years' War could have ended with the Danish Period, but the Catholic League persuaded Ferdinand II to take back the Lutheran holdings that were, according to the Peace of Augsburg, rightfully the Catholic Church's; described in the Edict of Restitution (1629) these included two Archbishoprics, sixteen bishoprics, and hundreds of monasteries.
