Synopsis
Clash of Empires presents an introduction to European history in the first half of the sixteenth century. Europe was riven by religious revolt as the emerging forces of Protestantism challenged the common teachings of Catholicism.

The continent was further destablished as an increase in population, food crises, falling wages and growing urbanisation undermined traditional social and economic structures.
