"Protestantism began in Germany, spread through Europe, and then spread to other continents" is the best answer to this question.

Many mark the beginning of mainstream Protestantism as the moment Martin Luther nailed his Theses to the door of the church in Germany.

While other groups did exist before and after in England, France and elsewhere, Germany can be considered the intellectual home for Protestantism before spreading throughout Europe and the world.
