Martin Luther lit the fuse of the Reformation movement. On October 31, 1517, he posted The Ninety-Five Theses to the door of the church of Wittenberg Palace. These theses had social and political demands as much as theological ones. These demands had three main consequences.
1. Catholic world was divided.
2. The churches were brought under the control of the states.
3. The bourgeoisie used these these demands as a weapon against its opponents such as aristocracy and the Roman Catholic Church.
