What if the Protestant Reformation had gone differently?

Luther's theses ignite a permanent split in Western Christianity.

If it had gone differently: Western Christianity stays a single church; no confessional map of Europe forms.

1. 1545The Council of Trent, The Catholic Church never reforms or re-centralises; without a Counter-Reformation the confessional map stays fluid.
2. 1568The Dutch Revolt, The Low Countries stay Spanish; there is no Dutch Republic to pioneer the joint-stock company, the free press and the central bank.
3. 1600The Scientific Revolution, Natural philosophy stays deferential to the ancients; no method, no acceleration.
4. 1618The Thirty Years' War, Central Europe is spared its worst depopulation; the Holy Roman patchwork holds together longer.
5. 1642The English Civil War, The English crown is never forced to reckon with Parliament by arms; the settlement of 1688 has nothing to build on.
6. 1688The Glorious Revolution, The English crown keeps its arbitrary power over taxes and courts; property and lending stay risky.
