The right answer is e.

Explanation:

The Peace of Westphalia of 1648 is a major historical even. It isn't only a peace treaty that put an end to the Thirty Years' War, it marks the beginning of the era of the sovereign nation-state as the main actor in international relations. The conflict was political, military, territorial and religious. Its clauses mean a rearrengement of the map of modern Europe, a formal confirmation of the status of the Swiss Confederation and of the United Provinces of the Netherlands, the independence of German princedoms from the Holy Roman Empire's influence, and the establishment of religious tolerance and the formal admission of Protestantism by Catholic powers, especially by the Holy Roman emperor.
