Present day Germany and Switzerland were both part of the Holy Roman Empire. So, if the Holy Roman Empire had been anywhere near as powerful as some claim both Lutheranism and Calvinism would have been crushed at their outsets.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Thanks to the 30 Years War, Calvinists were very nearly "crushed."

And were it not for the Vatican's slaughter of the Huguenots, France might still be Protestant today.
