His writings were responsible for fractionalizing the Catholic Church and sparking the Protestant Reformation. His central teachings, that the Bible is the central source of religious authority and that salvation is reached through faith and not deeds, shaped the core of Protestantism

The dropping of the atomic bombs on Japan started a nuclear arms race between the U.S.A and the Soviet Union. This was because they both wanted to prove to the world they were the strongest superpower. This was an issue during the cold war because it started a fear of mutual destruction. Mutual destruction happens when both countries are capable of totally destroying one another... and the world.

Hope this Helps! :)
