Answer:

Fundamentally Luther succeeded because his ideas appealed to people of all classes. In its maturity his theology was seen as revolutionary in economic, social, and political—as well as intellectual and doctrinal ways. ... Yet another reason for Luther's success was the relative weakness of the forces opposing him.
