It all started in 1517 when Martin Luther (allegedly) nailed his 95 theses to the All Saints' Church in Wittenberg. He began to become more extreme in his faith. He started preaching the 5 soles and questioning the supremacy of the papacy. After his excommunication more and more protestant theologians started to pop up, preaching their sect of Protestantism. Many kingdoms in the Holy Roman Empire started to convert to Protestantism. The Nordic countries and England also converted to Protestantism. |

Between 1533 and 1535 the Protestant leaders Jan Matthys and John of Leiden erected a short-living theocratic kingdom in the city of Münster. They set up some type of [[File:Christcom.png]] [[Christian Socialism|Medieval Anabaptist Communism]]. Money was abolished and the property was redistributed. Any violation of the 10 commandments was punishable by death. This all ended in 1535 where Münster was recaptured by Franz von Waldeck after a long siege. |

Even though Calvin called for the separation of church and state, some historians say that Geneva, Switzerland, under John Calvin was a theocracy. Him and other pastors held power over Geneva. The consistory tried moral and religious offenders. Many examples are: no work or pleasure on a Sunday, no extravagance in dress, if you were excommunicated you were banished from the city, blasphemy could be punished by death, lewd singing could be punished by your tongue being pierced. One time a rebellion lead by the Libertines attempted a take-over of Geneva which was a disaster. The ringleaders were caught and executed. It is also debated if Zurich under [[w:Huldrych Zwingli|Huldrych Zwingli]] was a theocracy. Some say that it was a theocracy while others say it wasn't really a theocracy. |
