Why did the reformation see an
increase in persecution of people of different
beliefs or religions?

The Catholic church did not want to tolerate other ideas that differed from the Catholic doctrine. Some nations accepted and reformed as England did, but some other countries expelled thousands or tens of thousands of people who accepted the reformation and became protestant. There was even an extremely bloody conflict called the Thirty Years War that was fought between the Catholics and the Protestants where the Protestants emerged victorious.
