the Protestant Reformation
The Reformation challenged the religious and political authority of the Catholic Church, leading to the rise of Protestantism and the decentralization of religious power in Western Europe. This shift weakened the Church's influence over states and allowed monarchs to assert greater control, fostering the emergence of nation-states. The Enlightenment further transformed the power dynamics by promoting ideas of individual rights, reason, and secular governance, which encouraged revolutions and reforms that diminished absolute monarchies and increased demands for democracy and representative government. Together, these movements contributed to a gradual shift of power from religious institutions and monarchs to the emerging democratic ideals and institutions in Western Europe.
