Lutherans could keep the territory they had captured from the Catholic Church since the Peace of Passau in 1552.Lutherans living in a prince-bishopric (a state ruled by a Catholic bishop) could continue to practice their faith.Rulers of the 224 German states could choose the religion (Lutheranism or Catholicism) of their realms according to their consciences, and compel their subjects to follow that faith (the principle of cuius regio, eius religio).The Peace of Augsburg (1555), signed by Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, confirmed the result of the 1526 Diet of Speyer, ending the war between German Lutherans and Catholics, and establishing that: Some of the quarrels that provoked the war went unresolved for a much longer time.

Gradually, it developed into a more general conflict involving most of the great powers of Europe. Changing the relative balance of power within the Empire was at issue. Initially, religion was a motivation for war as Protestant and Catholic states battled it out even though they all were inside the Holy Roman Empire. It was one of the longest and most destructive conflicts in European history, and one of the longest continuous wars in modern history.
