Evaluate the social and religious impact of one Early Modern war.

Candidates will make an appraisal of the social as well as the religious impact of one war taken from the period. Depending on the links made, it may also be permissible for the impact of the war to extend beyond the timeframe. Candidates may interpret “impact” as referring to events that occurred as the war was being fought as well as when the war itself was over but its repercussions were being felt. Examples chosen may allow for an evaluation of possible ways in which the war had an impact and these may include the institutionalization of religion, the replacement of one form of worship by another, social upheaval and/or the spread of disease by marauding armies. Arguments will consider the changes brought about by war and consider the strength and limitations of the factors indicated.
