What was the first protestant state in Europe?

Answer 1

It was Saxony, in the eastern part of modern Germany.

Frederick the Wise, the Elector of Saxony from 1486 to 1525, was personally loyal to the Pope and to the old religion. He neither opposed nor supported Luther's reforms, as long as public order was maintained. But when he died in 1525, his successor Duke John the Constant officially implemented Luther's reforms throughout his territory. This was according to the doctrine later summarised as "cuius regio, eius religio", according to which it was for each prince to decide whether his state should follow the old or the new forms of worship and Church organisation.

Over the next three years, under this doctrine, the principalities of Brandenburg, Brunswick-Luneburg, Schleswig-Holstein, Mansfeld, and Silesia all became officially Lutheran too.

Henry VIII's break with Rome took place later, in 1533-34.
