Correct answers: Switzerland and Holland.
Brief explanation: The Peace of Westphalia (1648) formally recognized the independence of the Swiss Confederacy and the Dutch Republic (the United Provinces). It also confirmed the legal status of Protestant confessions (including Calvinism) within the Holy Roman Empire and restored some territories (e.g., the Palatinate's ruler was restored), but it did not make Bohemia, Spain, France, or England into independent Protestant states.
