strengthening royal power
united the german states
forcing frederick out of silesia

Explanation:

• First question: The Peace of Westphalia ended the Thirty Years War, so it cannot be a cause. The depopulation of Europe was a consequence of the war. The Protestant Revolution (also known as the Protestant Reformation) led to religious tensions that were a long - term cause of the Thirty Years War.
• Second question: Maria Theresa strengthened royal power. The German states were not united during her reign. She was unable to force Frederick out of Silesia.

Answer:

• First question: The Protestant Revolution
• Second question: Strengthening royal power
