Answer:
C. Catholic Spain forced the Netherlands to convert to Catholicism and remain under Spanish rule.
Explanation:
As we know there were many conflicts between people who followed the Protestant faith and those who followed the Catholic faith, these conflicts led to war, persecution, excommunication and much discussion. However, even in the face of so much conflict, Catholic Spain did not force the Netherlands to convert to Catholicism and remain under Spanish rule. However, other things happened like:
- The Holy Roman Emperor led Catholic forces against a league of Protestant states.
- Fighting broke out between the Catholics and the Huguenots in France many times.
- Some rulers chose to break away from the Catholic Church in order to seize land.
