Week of November 6

Whew!! We made it through the first marking period. In several ways the transition from the Protestant Reformation to the Age of Religious Wars is pretty seamless. This week we will begin by filling in some gaps in the Reformation (namely events in France and Switzerland) and then talking about religious conflict in France, before moving on to the 30 Years' War next week.
