The Reformation

The Reformation wasn't the first split within the Christian church nor the last but it was unique in that it was the first to involve the printing press' power of propaganda. While it started out as a theological conflict it quickly turned into a political one as well.
It eventually resulted in the Catholic Reformation but by that time the schisms had widened that no amount of reforms could heal the divisions.
