Protestantism

Protestantism, in the context of the alternate timeline, refers to a diverse collection of religious movements that emerged from a distinct Reformation movement. It played a crucial role in shaping world politics and religious dynamics, with its influence most prominently seen in its involvement in conflicts such as the Great Jacobite War and the 7 Years' War.

Competing empires and the Protestant Reformation

Unlike the Protestant Reformation of the real world, this alternate universe's Reformation unfolded differently, sparked by unique catalysts and historical events. As a result, it gave rise to Protestant doctrines and denominations that diverged significantly from their real-world counterparts. In this universe, Protestantism had a more profound impact on global politics, with powerful empires seeking to assert their religious and political agendas.

The Great Jacobite War and the 7 Years' War

Two of the most significant conflicts in this alternate timeline where Protestantism played a crucial role were the Great Jacobite War and the 7 Years' War. In this universe, these wars were not merely territorial or economic disputes but were also driven by religious tensions between Protestant and Catholic-aligned forces. The outcomes of these conflicts had lasting effects on the global balance of power and the political landscape.

Key figures and theological concepts

Several prominent figures emerged within alternate-universe Protestantism, with unique backgrounds and accomplishments compared to their real-world counterparts. Additionally, the theological concepts held by these figures and their followers often diverged significantly from historical Protestant theology. This resulted in a distinct Protestant identity that shaped the religious landscape and influenced global developments in this universe.
