@PugJesus the Europeans in the first half were Spanish, the ones in the second were German and English. No saints either way, but different

Serious question because I never thought about it before: was burning witches only restricted to certain countries? E.g. did this not also happen in Spain in the middle ages?
Contrary to popular myth, where people believe it is a Catholic medieval thing, the burning of witches was primarily an early modern Protestant thing. So Germany, Britain, Scandinavia were the major perpetrators in that regard.
It is not like the Catholics didn’t burn people, but it was primarily for heresy.

The Europeans in the first half still had the Spanish inquisition actively murdering people in the 16th century

Indeed, protestantism was a successful fundamentalist movement. I don’t think we would have capitalism in this form if they had lost.
