Summary

Description
English: This map shows countries by percentage of Protestants around 1545, that is the exact year the Council of Trent officially launched the Counter-Reformation against Protestantism in Europe to restore unity in the Catholic Church. Notice that before the Counter-Reformation brought back Roman Catholicism:
  • Bohemia (today: the Czech Republic) was majority Hussite with a large Lutheran minority,
  • eastern Austria was largely Lutheran,
  • Hungary was largely Calvinist with sizeable Lutheran minority.

This persisted until all of those regions were "pacified" in the Thirty Years' War by Habsburg forces (1620s).
