why is eastern hungary protestant?

>>220710892The entire country used to be Protestant until the Habsburgs cracked down on it.
>>220710892They had Calvinist nobility from which it trickled down to peasantry. We and Lithuanians also had one (pic related) but for multiple reasons they failed to do so
>>220710892The Eastern Nobility hated the Habsubrgs
>>220710892In the 16th century Hungarian noblemen decided to go full >DAMN GIBS ME ALL THAT SHIT BITCH ASS POPE
>>220710892Notice how the further away from Rome these countries are the more protestant they are.Poland is an anomaly.It is also not surprising that the Reformation started in Germany, they were uncivilized by Romans.
>>220712210Catholicism was a nice shield for Poland if you consider its two historical main neighbours!
>>220712210>>220712301Almost like religion was always a political tool
>>220712324>Almost
>>220712210Warsaw is about the same distance from Rome as Paris or Madrid
>>220710892Catholics got rekd in the 30 year warIts always funny to me how we would have lost if france didn't suddenly decide to sperg out for no reason at war and ally with protestants, thereby extending the war by another 10 years
>>220712396Some distances are not just geographic...
>>220712396Culturally you're closer to germans than everyone else, let's start with the fact that you eat sausages and salami for breakfast and drink unfiltered coffee instead of espresso.
>>220710892It was under turks and turks didn't care what sort of christianity hungarians practiced as long as they paid taxes, and calvinist preachers were very successfull there

>>220710892>eeerrmmmmm akshually this map is all wrong because most people in MY COUNTRY are not christian they're atheist. We are very forward thinking and progressive!
>>220710892can we stop calling them protestants and start calling them whiners?
>>220714079Probably just a larp and not actually practiced
>>220710892It's funny how the green blob keeps getting sprayed onto the balkans consistently despite very few of these being practicing muslims, but for the actual practicing muslims in the west that have cordoned off entire towns there are no blobs to be seen. No matter how many years pass since this map was last updated, no new update to it will happen because that would cause the societal implosion of those countries. It's not that kosher to do to the west what the west is doing to us with these maps, and has been doing it since the 19th century for various geopolitical reasons.
>>220712396Not rome but roman Empire
