Prompt: In the period from 1450 to 1750, the development and interactions of belief systems often had political, social, and cultural implications.

Develop an argument that evaluates the extent to which belief systems affected at least two land-based states in Asia or Europe differently in this period.

Now that you have written contextualization, continue with your paragraph by writing a thesis statement. Remember the thesis must make a claim that responds to the prompt, rather than merely restating or rephrasing the prompt. The thesis must consist of one or more sentences located in one place, either in the introduction or the conclusion.
