All of the following are examples of how the Catholic/Protestant split led to political rivalries and wars in Europe, except: A. The Holy Roman Emperor led Catholic forces against a league of Protestant states. B. Fighting broke out between the Catholics and the Huguenots in France many times. C. Catholic Spain forced the Netherlands to convert to Catholicism and remain under Spanish rule. D. Some rulers chose to break away from the Catholic Church in order to seize land.

As we know there were many conflicts between people who followed the Protestant faith and those who followed the Catholic faith, these conflicts led to war, persecution, excommunication and much discussion. However, even in the face of so much conflict, Catholic Spain did not force the Netherlands to convert to Catholicism and remain under Spanish rule. However, other things happened like:
