Explanation:

1.7)

The Edict of Nantes (1598) was issued by King Henry IV of France. It granted the Huguenots (French Protestants) significant religious and civil rights, including the freedom to practice their religion (Calvinism) publicly in specified areas, hold public office, and have their own fortified towns. This helped end the French Wars of Religion (a series of conflicts between Catholics and Protestants) by reducing religious tensions and giving Protestants a sense of security and inclusion within the French state, thus bringing peace. The original answer has spelling errors ("Huguenots" was misspelled as "huguenots" with a lowercase, "practice" misspelled as "pratice", "start" instead of "practice" or "profess", and grammar issues). A correct explanation would be: The Edict of Nantes helped bring peace to France by granting Huguenots (French Protestants) the freedom to practice their religion (Calvinism) publicly in certain areas, hold public offices, and enjoy other civil rights, which reduced religious tensions from the French Wars of Religion.

The Catholic League (formed in late 16th - century France) was a powerful Catholic political and military organization. Its main purpose was to defend Catholicism in France, oppose the Protestant Huguenots, and resist the possibility of a Protestant or a king with Protestant leanings (or a king who was seen as too lenient toward Protestants, like Henry of Navarre before he converted to Catholicism) from taking the French throne. It aimed to maintain Catholic dominance in France, often aligning with Spanish interests (Spain was a major Catholic power) to achieve this goal, and was involved in the French Wars of Religion.

Answer:

The Edict of Nantes helped bring peace to France by granting Huguenots (French Protestants) the freedom to practice their religion (Calvinism) publicly in specified regions, hold public offices, and have other civil rights, easing religious tensions from the French Wars of Religion.
