It was a movement that lessened the power of the Roman Catholic Church. Before, the church could say, "If you don't give us ten bucks, you'll go to hell!" and the people would believe them. After this, many new sectors of Christianity formed and, of course, less people actually believed the church.
Martin Luther. He, because of his extremely scrupulous conscience and false vocation to religious life, decided to reform the Church.He didn't like the selling of indulgences and other corrupt practices. It is important to point out that there were many things that need reform in the Catholic Church, but it was the pope's job, not Martin Luther's.

If you had to put on a year on it...it would be in 1517!
