Answers and Explanations:

The Peasants' War of 1524-1525 was led by a radical ex-follower of Luther, Philip Melanchthon. Answer: False. Philip Melanchthon was a Lutheran reformer, a Martin Luther's collaborator. The Peasants' War of 1524-1525 was strongly opposed by Luther, who saw it as a social revolution from below against God's divine order. Answer: True. Luther wanted a reform. He was mainly against indulgences. He did not intended that his reformation will lead to a separation from the Catholic Church, so it is false that The Peasants' War "was praised by Luther, as it destroyed the great Catholic princes [sic] of Germany". The Peasants' War of 1524-1525 had no connection with any of Luther's ideas and beliefs. Answer: Luther's ideas influenced The Peasants' War in the sense that Luther challenged the power of The Catholic Church at that time as the Peasants also wanted to challenged the feudal authority prevalent at that moment. The Peasants' War of 1524-1525 furthered the spread of Lutheranism throughout all of Europe. Answer: Lutheranism and Peasants' War were two different movements. Lutheranism was spread all through Europe independently of the Peasants' War, which was finally suffocated in 1525.
