The effects of the Counter-Reformation include:

  1. Jews in Venice were forced to live in ghettos - This is true; the establishment of ghettos, particularly in Venice, was a consequence of the social and religious tensions during and after the Counter-Reformation.

  2. Spain forced Jews to leave the country - This is also true; the Alhambra Decree, which was enacted in 1492 (before the Counter-Reformation but part of the broader context of Catholic reform efforts), led to the expulsion of Jews from Spain, which continued to affect Jewish communities during the Counter-Reformation.

  3. Calvinism developed - This statement is somewhat misleading. Calvinism developed prior to the Counter-Reformation, as John Calvin's foundational work took place in the 16th century, particularly in the 1530s and 1540s. However, the Counter-Reformation was chiefly a response to Protestant movements like Calvinism, rather than a cause of its development.

In summary, the first two statements reflect effects related to the Counter-Reformation, while the third is more about the Protestant Reformation context.
