Answer:

The printing press also directly contributed to the Protestant Reformation of 1517 by allowing Martin Luther's 95 Theses, which started the Reformation, to spread quickly and move beyond Wittenberg, Germany, in just a few years. Thanks to the printing press, German translations of Luther's theses enjoyed huge sales.
