What happens
The Holy Roman Empire had a fragile balance, split between 10 major and nearly 400 minor states and principalities, as well as two opposing religions. The power of the Emperor was quite limited beyond his direct domains and the erratic and inconsistent behavior of some of them, as Rudolph II, increased frictions. In 1608, the Protestant city of Donauwörth refused Catholics the right to practice their cult and is banned from the Empire. As a reaction, most German Protestant states formed the Evangelic Union to defend their freedom.
